Dr. Aymen Mohamed: Building Bespoke Leadership Curricula with Global Impact

NATIONWIDE - SEPTEMBER 2025 - (USAnews.com) In higher education, few names carry as much weight in bespoke curriculum design as Dr. Aymen Mohamed, the driving force behind Abenzy Education. His pioneering Women in Leadership programme has already begun transforming institutions in the UK, the Middle East, India, and the United States, where it has been praised not just as an academic framework but as a catalyst for institutional change.

Unlike most leadership programmes, Dr. Mohamed’s creation is not an off-the-shelf product. Each version is tailored to the DNA of the institution commissioning it, ensuring that the content speaks directly to its mission, its culture, and its ambitions. That unique model, along with its international recognition and awards, has made the programme one of the most sought-after of its kind. Institutions now invest £10,000 for the curriculum, reflecting the value of a programme that is designed to be both academically rigorous and strategically transformative.

A Curriculum Beyond the Classroom

The Women in Leadership curriculum consists of twelve carefully structured modules that combine academic theory with professional practice. Topics range from leadership identity, organisational culture, and gendered power dynamics to entrepreneurship, innovation, and global leadership perspectives. But what makes the curriculum distinctive is how it adapts in different parts of the world.

In the UK, the modules are framed around legislation such as the Equality Act 2010 and explore sector-specific challenges including healthcare governance and the higher education pay gap. In the Middle East, the focus shifts toward women in public service, entrepreneurship, and cultural leadership. In India, it emphasises digital innovation and the growing role of women in technology and policy. Meanwhile, in the US, the programme aligns with diversity and inclusion frameworks, responding to both corporate and civic leadership challenges.

Each delivery feels like it was written specifically for the host institution  because it was. This ability to listen, adapt, and build bespoke solutions is at the heart of Abenzy Education’s approach.

International Recognition

The programme has not gone unnoticed. It has received international recognition and awards for its innovative design and impact, with graduates reporting significant career progression and institutions seeing measurable outcomes in their equity and leadership agendas. Universities that have adopted the programme often describe it as more than just a curriculum; they call it a strategic partnership that enhances their reputation and strengthens their positioning in the global education market.

A Businessman with Vision

Dr. Mohamed’s success lies not only in the design of the curriculum but in his strategic understanding of institutions as businesses as well as learning environments. With a background that spans corporate consulting, global retail, and healthcare systems, he has brought a pragmatic, results-oriented mindset into higher education. His entrepreneurial approach ensures that Abenzy’s programmes do not just deliver knowledge, but also serve as tools for institutional growth, international competitiveness, and student success.

When asked why institutions are willing to pay a £10,000 premium for the curriculum, Dr. Mohamed’s answer is simple: “Because it’s not just education  it’s transformation. Universities aren’t buying a product; they’re investing in their future.”

Future Growth and Impact

Looking forward, Dr. Mohamed has plans to further expand the reach of the Women in Leadership programme by incorporating new, emerging global leadership trends and expanding the scope to include both male and female leaders across various sectors. Abenzy Education aims to solidify its role as a thought leader in leadership development and continue influencing higher education practices worldwide.

With several collaborations in the pipeline, the programme's impact is expected to grow exponentially, impacting thousands of students globally. By positioning women at the forefront of leadership, Dr. Mohamed is not only empowering individuals but also reshaping the future of institutions globally to be more inclusive, innovative, and transformative.
