Episode notes

Marie Holive sits down with Karim Chaiblaine, CEO of Nesma Mobility in Saudi Arabia, to explore what true transformation requires from leaders in uncertain environments. Through the conversation, listeners will hear practical insights on making tough strategic choices, knowing when to build versus partner, scaling with intention, and staying flexible without losing clarity of purpose. Karim also draws on Professor David Teece's dynamic capabilities framework (UC Berkeley) and Professor Charles O'Reilly's Ambidextrous Organization framework (Stanford), to explore how successful organizations navigate change. It’s a thoughtful discussion on how leaders can navigate complexity, drive meaningful change, and make the kinds of decisions that create lasting impact.
