## About

```text
At Fugro Suhaimi, I run the Saudi geophysics division with responsibility for strategy, P&L, delivery and team performance. I grew revenue by about 25% by expanding into mining and integrated ground-risk services, and reduced project delivery costs by 10–30% through optimized acquisition strategies and resource allocation.

I’ve worked across France, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, delivering geophysical projects in complex subsurface conditions. At Fugro Middle East, I managed processing and interpretation for multi-method investigations and contributed to integrated ground models for infrastructure and oil and gas developments.

My technical work spans near-surface geophysics and ground-risk assessment, including seismic methods, MASW and ERT. I’ve also published on near-surface seismic methods, ground modelling and machine learning, and bring that expertise to differentiated proposals and project solutions.
