Mediation Profile
I became a mediator because I believe every disagreement, conflict, or dispute can be resolved through negotiation—achieving outcomes that not only address the issues but also transform relationships, whether in business, international, societal, or personal contexts. After decades negotiating multi-stakeholder projects across continents, I have seen the high cost of unresolved conflict: delays and cancellations of projects vital to society, lost public and private value, damaged relationships, and eroded credibility. Mediation enables me to help parties bridge divides, preserve trust, and reach durable solutions that serve both their interests and the wider public good.
Senior infrastructure and negotiation advisor with over 25 years of experience structuring and closing large-scale public-private partnership and infrastructure projects across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Former executive at leading energy, water, and digital companies like ACWA Power (Saudi Arabia), TAQA (UAE), ENGIE (France) and DataVolt (Saudi Arabia). Currently working as an independent Deal Negotiation, Conflict Resolution and Execution Expert supporting governments, DFIs, investors, developers and other companies to structure bankable deals, build consensus, and drive complex deals to closing. Track record includes over USD 50 billion of transactions, with deep experience in stakeholder alignment, risk allocation, and high-stakes negotiation.
My key differentiators are:
• Hands-on execution in high-stakes environments.
• Proven ability to align government, investors, and lenders.
• Specialized PPP / investments insight in complex projects.
• Trusted by ministers, CEOs, and technical teams alike.
