Born 1979, Damascus, Syria; Hale Abdul Kader holds a degree in Economics and Accountancy (Upper Second Class Honours) from the University of Damascus (2004) and a postgraduate degree in Finance (distinction and Dresdner Kleinwort Investment Bank Prize Winner) from Swansea University, UK. Prior to coming to the UK, I worked at the Audi commercial bank, Beirut, Lebanon (2004-5) and as an Economic Researcher for the Damascus-based Institutional and Sector Modernization Facility (ISMF) (2005-6). In September 2007 I secured the prestigious Agnes Hempsell Endowed Doctoral Scholarship to study for a doctorate on the corporate reinsurance transaction in the UK property liability insurance industry at the Centre for Risk and Insurance Studies (CRIS), University of Nottingham – the UK’s leading centre for risk and insurance research. This achievement was reported in the national media (The Guardian newspaper, 17 July, 2007). My published work includes the 2007 Review of the Syrian Economy, produced by the ISMF and co-authored with Dr. Constantine Zaman plus two academic working papers – the first on reinsurance and taxation in the UK life insurance industry (2008) coauthored with Professor Michael Adams and Dr. Kostas Mouritidis, and the second on the cost efficiency of Takaful insurers written with Professors Michael Adams and Phillip Hardwick. I also presented my work on the insurance industry at several universities including the University of Leeds, University of Nottingham, Swansea University, and Sidney Sussex College, University of Cambridge in the UK, and Umeå University in Sweden. I am also a member of the UK based female insurance executive organization, the Women’s Insurance Network and an assistant examiner in finance on the external degree programme run by the London School of Economics and Political Science. I have appeared in public media broadcasts for Syrian TV and the online TV programme The Risk Channel (www.theriskchannel.com). My hobbies and interests include history, swimming and dancing.
