About The Podcast

When Women Win is the award-winning podcast that redefined how women’s stories are told — unfiltered, unapologetic, and deeply human. Hosted by corporate strategist and changemaker Rana Nawas, the show spotlights extraordinary women who are rewriting the rules of business, culture, and society.

From global leaders like Kristalina Georgieva (IMF Managing Director) and Bozoma Saint John (former Netflix and Uber CMO) to cultural icons such as Elif Shafak, Hala Gorani (CNN Correspondent), and Ibtihaj Muhammad (Olympic medallist), each episode unpacks the journey behind the headline, revealing hard-won wisdom and practical tools for personal and professional growth.

Ranked the #1 business podcast in the Middle East on Apple, featured on CNN, and aired on Emirates Airlines flights, drawing millions of listens in over 180 countries — When Women Win returns in Summer 2025.

Beyond stories of success, the new season explores what it really takes to make women win: the technological revolution, the future of the workforce, inclusive leadership, evolving cultural norms and expectations, and organisational changes.

Expect candid, data-driven conversations that don’t just inform, but inspire action. Real stories. Real strategies. What’s next for women, workplaces, and the world.

When women win is one of my favourite podcasts. It gave me lots of valuable insights from extraordinary women of all walks
of life. Highly recommend it as learning and inspirational source for all women.

Eclectic powerhouses – all spoken from the heart

To Rana and all your guests – amazing podcast collection (and I have listened to many podcasts in my life!). You access the top women in the Middle East and Internationally, across a variety of cultures and disciplines – who all speak from the heart and provide riveting inspiration and content. I absolutely love these – they keep me company and inspire me as I walk around Dubai Marina or drive along the Sheikh Zayed Rd. Rana, your interview style is personal, humble and humorous. You have chosen a really refreshing cohort of women who respond well to you and connect with each of us. Thank you….Rossana Agolini

Inspiring

Love the variety of exceptional women this podcast honours. It’s inspiring yet presented with such humanity, like listening into a heartfelt conversation. Makes one feel uplifted and motivated to contribute the power we all have within us.

Brilliant

I loved hearing such a funny frank conversation about how hard it is being an entrepreneur. I loved the COVID morale management tips. So interesting as always.
