Message from the Managing Director

Driven by a passion for excellence, I have earned professional certifications in LEED, Estidama, Green Building, Energy Auditing, Energy Management, and PMC. These credentials reflect not only my personal commitment but also Stride’s broader mission to integrate sustainability, innovation, and efficiency into every projects we deliver.

 

With more than 20 years of experience in the design, construction, and management of complex developments across the Middle East, I am fortunate to have gained extensive expertise through leadership roles in international design studios, Consulting firms, Project management companies, and Contracting organizations.

 

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of leading cross-functional, multicultural teams and overseeing major projects from concept design to handover, addressing both technical and commercial requirements. My focus has always been on driving excellence in MEP systems integration, sustainable design, and strategic project leadership—the very foundations on which Stride continues to build its success.
