True North
From a childhood full of encouragement to ambitions and success in the law, Linda Fitz-Alan has followed the guidance of her own personal star, one that beckons her to both challenge herself and to leave the world a better place. That journey has taken her from Australia to the engine rooms of Wall Street, back to her native country—and then on to Abu Dhabi in the Middle East. Along the way, she raised two children, facing the challenges of working families—and the pressures of a hard-charging career. But once in the room where decisions were made, her path was set.
Linda’s legal career—on up to her position as CEO of the Abu Dhabi Global Market Courts—has included a commitment to ESG and sustainability initiatives, including a first-of-its-kind digital court. Told with candor and passion, True North is the story of pursuing your passions and challenging yourself to your fullest capabilities.
