With an extensive background in civil engineering and environmental engineering, my consultancy role has focused on leveraging my expertise in water resources, project planning, and new business development. My tenure as Partner and Chairman at Emarat Aloula Contracting enriched my experience in leading complex infrastructure projects and driving strategic business growth.

As a certified arbitrator, I thrive in resolving disputes with a keen understanding of the intricacies involved. The skills honed during my latest engagements involve not only in-depth technical knowledge but also strategic negotiation and decision-making, ensuring successful outcomes for all parties involved.
