Razia Sultana

My name is Razia Sultana and I currently work as a PCP Officer. I’ve spent the past few years building my experience in HR and recruitment, working with both a top US based law firm and a leading recruitment agency. I’m passionate about all things people-related, from onboarding new joiners to managing employee relations. I love what I do and enjoy helping create a positive environment.

I enjoy staying active through and practice pilates and yoga and I’m passionate about exploring new cultures through travelling. In my spare time I also volunteer in a community cat care program helping with animal welfare. 

I wanted to become a CIPD Student Ambassador to actively engage with the HR community, support fellow students, and promote professional development. It’s a great opportunity to build leadership skills while representing an organisation I’m passionate about.

Ali Alwatani

As an experienced HR professional with over 12 years in human resources and people management, I have proudly worked across 11 different industries and managed various multinational organizations with over 450 employees. I currently serve in the capacity of a HR Manager at Raffa Construction & Maintenance (RAFCO), where I’m assigned to lead strategic HR initiatives across the Kingdom of Bahrain and to support our active expansion into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Being passionate about people development has always been my self-driven force. I deeply believe in the transformative power of HR and its ability to create everlasting, meaningful, positive impact on not just individuals, but also on teams and entire organizations alike.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to lead initiatives in policy development, innovation, workforce restructuring, and legal compliance within diverse sectors. I’m particularly committed to embedding modern HR practices that truly reflect the region’s evolving needs.

I’m currently pursuing my Level 7 CIPD qualification in Strategic People Management at the prestigious Bahrain Institute of Banking & Finance (BIBF), with the aim of contributing meaningfully to the advancement of HR excellence across the region.
