Sheikha Lubna is a role model for all young Emirati women hoping to become a successful businesswoman. She was a bright and diligent student at school and got good grades. These allowed her to study for a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science at California State University. She completed her education by earning an Executive MBA from the American University of Sharjah.

Sheikha Lubna got job offers from all over the USA but decided to return to the UAE and make a success of herself there. She got a job as a computer programmer and worked ten hours a day.

Sheikha Lubna’s talent, skills and experience were spotted by the ruler of Dubai. He appointed her as head of Tejari.com, a cutting-edge e-ideas project.
