Meet Your Conversation Leader
Taqua Malik
Taqua Malik is the founder of Freedomvisory, a cultural intelligence advisory firm working with global law firms, family offices and senior executives across the Gulf. After fifteen years inside the region’s legal industry, she built her practice around a simple observation: most cross-border relationships fail for reasons no one says out loud. Her work makes those unwritten rules legible. She is the author of the forthcoming book The Cultural Contract, publishes The GCC Legal Culture Review, and hosts The Cultural Breakfast in Dubai, a gathering built on the belief that the most useful conversations still happen around a table.
