What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to drive sustainability initiatives and operational improvements in a dynamic environment.

I am an Assistant Vice President with a proven track record in sustainability and facility management, currently leading initiatives at Al Hamra Real Estate Development. My career has been marked by a commitment to operational excellence and strategic alignment of business objectives with sustainability goals. I successfully achieved a 35% reduction in operational costs and managed a utilities division budget of AED40 million, consistently meeting financial targets.

Previously, I served as the Sustainability Lead at Emaar Properties, where I developed and implemented a long-term energy strategy that significantly reduced energy consumption and waste. My efforts led to AED20 million in annual cost savings and a notable improvement in sustainability metrics. I am passionate about promoting a culture of sustainability and have successfully engaged employees and customers alike in various initiatives.
