What I'm looking for
I am a senior management professional with extensive experience across the Middle East, South East Asia and the USA, specializing in facilities management, operations and construction project delivery.

My career highlights include increasing sales revenue by 300%, reducing operating costs by 15%, creating distribution markets across GCC countries, and building turnkey projects including large-scale irrigated land developments and high-end custom homes. I have led multi‑national teams, established in‑house FM departments, implemented PPM programs and managed multi‑million dollar budgets and P&L responsibilities.
I bring practical hands‑on expertise in MEP systems, hard and soft services oversight, contractor management, staff development and energy‑savings initiatives. I am results-oriented, solution-driven and focused on operational excellence, safety compliance and sustainable cost improvements.
