"When it comes to leading, I expect my team to strive to be at least 1% better every day; because being better for themselves both personally and professionally means being better for our clients. I encourage a strong foundation of health and wellness, a work/life balance, and a great deal of success in our business by having aligned values in great communication, integrity and an ambitious work ethic". In her spare time Gemma finds balance with an active lifestyle, including HIIT classes, yoga, hiking and horse riding as well as indulging in fine dining around the many amazing restaurants in Dubai or simply cooking for friends at home.
