EDITOR’S LETTER

GLOBAL CITIZEN

For many of us, spring brings a freshness–an emergence of sorts. We bask in the sunlight and shed the thicker sartorial layers in favour of light linens, cottons, silk, and any other lightweight fabrics perfectly suited for the impending heat that is just around the corner.

In this issue, discover the latest of the season’s must-haves that will elevate your style and take you from business to leisure with ease.

Speaking of effortless style, our cover story features Georgina Rodriguez, the fashionable mother, influencer, and business woman, who is also the partner of football great Cristiano Ronaldo. We also caught up with several inspiring personalities, including Breitling CEO Georges Kern, who shares his vision, challenges, and what customers can expect from the esteemed watchmaker; Entrepreneur Elli Kasbi discusses her award-winning homegrown premium children’s brand, Elli Junior; and Max Grenard, Corporate Food and Beverage Director of wasl Hospitality & Leisure and co-founder of UAE Restaurants Group, who is leading Dubai’s dynamic dining scene.

As ever, there’s a lot more to be discovered. Our Destinations take us to Armenia, Athens, California, and Ras Al Khaimah, for bucket list-worthy adventures you’ll want to mark your 2023 calendar for.

In fact, earlier this year, our team here at Global Citizen went on the adventure of a lifetime with a visit to Kerala, India, where we got a firsthand look at the incredible philanthropic initiatives of Sri Kurumba Educational & Charitable Trust, the CSR arm of Sobha Ltd., founded by billionaire philanthropist PNC Menon. Read on to learn about the journey. We have many stories we hope will inspire, motivate, empower, or just provide you with an enjoyable read.

Enjoy
