ABANA is joyous to share an exceptional and pensive op-ed by the Vice-Chair on the ABANA Board of Directors Joud Abdel Majeid.

BlackRock is an industry leader and pioneer in developing new opportunities to make proxy voting more manageable and accessible for eligible institutional clients. Under these rigorous changes, BlackRock’s VOTING Choice will enable more shareholder democracy, which makes for more vibrant and robust capital markets.

We are fortunate to have BlackRock’s leadership in this respect, but more importantly, Blackrock is lucky to have someone as talented as Joud to be the Global Head of Investment Stewardship.

Moreover, She advocates for the positive correlation between companies’ environmental, societal, and governance (ESG) initiatives and their financial outcomes.

Dajani is lauded for her prowess in energy innovation, partnership for the Project Development & Finance practice at International Law Firm Shearman & Sterling, and serving as Global Head of Energy & Infrastructure (Projects), Global Head of Renewables, Head of the Hydrogen and Ammonia Practice (Americas) and Co-Head of the U.S. Energy team.
