From redundancy to resilience, Kaneez Nabijee’s story is one of transformation and purpose.
After leaving a 13-year career in finance, Kaneez took a leap into the unknown — building Dr. Expat, a medical recruitment and licensing consultancy that’s now a trusted name across the UAE and GCC.
In this conversation with host Veena Nayyar, Kaneez opens up about:
- How her brother’s struggle with Dubai’s medical licensing inspired Dr. Expat
- The challenges of running a business in the UAE’s ever-changing regulatory landscape
- Why adding a personal touch makes all the difference in recruitment
- Balancing motherhood with the demands of building a company abroad
- Her vision for the future — from new platforms to Saudi expansion
