    Tech Buzzar Episode 03: Building Human Capital in Middle East – a chat with Peter Holmark

    The Middle East is undergoing one of the most ambitious transformations of our time, driven by bold visions like Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030. With two-thirds of the Saudi population under 35 and Gen Z expected to make up 40% of the workforce by 2024, the challenge is clear: how do we bridge the skills gap, align education with innovation, and build sustainable human capital at scale? In this episode, we sit down with Peter Holmark – a global HR leader, coach, and mentor who has worked across industries and geographies. Having taken on senior leadership roles in Saudi Arabia, Peter offers a unique inside-out view of the Kingdom's transformation. Together, we explore how organizations can adapt leadership strategies, the role of diversity and inclusion in workforce development, and how technologies such as generative AI and automation will reshape the future of talent.
