Sarah Mostafa-Kamel manages Gulf Sustain, a regional initiative of the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) that strengthens responsible business conduct across the Gulf. She works across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and the UAE, engaging ministries, private-sector leaders, and diplomatic partners on governance, sustainable development, and practical implementation pathways.

Drawing on IHRB’s wider work on mega sporting events and the hospitality sector, she contributes to initiatives that support responsible growth in Gulf economies, with a particular focus on worker welfare and applying international standards in practice.

Previously, Sarah held leadership roles in institutions responsible for workforce relations and organisational systems in Canada, where she managed teams, led negotiations, and supported institutional improvement. Based in Nairobi, she also works along Africa–Gulf corridors on labour mobility and sustainable investment.
