Senior HR professional. Career mentor. Founder of The Positive Influencer.
Her story
Strategy built on trust, clear communication and strong relationships.
Rida works in banking and financial services, where she has built her career around people: finding talent for technology teams, advising hiring leaders and helping organisations adapt as the work around them changes.
Behind every successful hire or organisational shift, she believes there is a plan built on trust, clear communication and strong relationships. That belief is the thread through her corporate work and her coaching.
Outside the office, she founded The Positive Influencer in 2019, a personal-development platform for mindset, success and authentic connection, and she mentors people who are working out what comes next.
Its weekly newsletter, Spreading positive vibes and motivation to believe in your dreams, has reached more than 44,000 subscribers across 63 editions on LinkedIn.
