My story

I’m a civil engineer and a Project Management Consultant , based in UK, with around 16 years of experience in construction and infrastructure project controls.

My work brings together planning, risk management, governance and data analytics to help teams understand project performance and make better decisions. My experience includes data centres, energy and major construction programmes.

I hold an MSc in Construction Project Management with BIM from Northumbria University and an MSc in Civil Engineering from Helwan University, alongside PMP and PMI-RMP certifications.

Beyond consulting, I create educational content in Arabic and English, and write about leadership and organisational change. This website brings together my videos, articles, practical tools and book project, Making Change Work.
