It is a by-invitation honour extended to only around 500 people around the world.
Dr al-Jaber has built a reputation as a regional public personality who is closely associated with the technology sector and social media, and a visionary in the impact and potential of these on Arab society.
Recognised as a leading technology influencer in the region, she currently holds prestigious posts such as the United Nations ITU Broadband Commissioner for Digital Development, among others.
Dr al-Jaber’s first LinkedIn Influencer blog post, Why My Daughter’s Generation is Facing Challenges Mine Didn’t, has had more than 18,000 views and more than 1,200 likes.

“Dr Hessa al-Jaber is a natural fit in this group, given her significant contribution to ICT in Qatar and beyond. We welcome her on board LinkedIn as an influencer and look forward to an engaging and enriching experience learning from her.”
