Currently a Management Consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton, Hoteit has a proven track record of success as a female engineer in a male dominated field.
Hoteit was awarded a Sainsbury Management Fellows scholarship in 2002 to study for her MBA at Insead.
Set up by Lord Sainsbury of Turville, Sainsbury Management Fellows help the country's top engineers acquire the knowledge and skills that will take them into the boardroom of Britain's blue chip companies or set up enterprises that will boost both local and national economies.
The SMF scholarship is highly respected within the world of engineering and awards are made to engineers who have the combination of exceptional qualifications and leadership potential.
The Professions Woman of the Future Award for which Hoteit has been nominated recognises women who are making a significant contribution in the legal, medicine, architecture, accounting, surveying and education professions and are destined for the top of their field.
Hoteit's dual technical and business background has brought her to the forefront of her profession.
This, combined with her knowledge developed by her MBA, has enabled Hoteit to embrace business management and it has set her on the right path to achieve her long term ambition of becoming a future leader in the industry.
Cherie Booth QC, Patron of the Women of the Future Awards, commented: "I'm fortunate to witness young women across the UK prospering in their chosen careers".
"But we still need more women to reach the very top".
"Which is why I am thrilled to be involved with the Women of the Future Awards".
"Young women need the inspiration that role models can bring".
"And these awards, celebrating the amazing achievements of young women aged 35 and under, are a fabulous platform to highlight our new generation of rising stars".
"I encourage young women across all spheres to get involved with this wonderful new venture".
