Samad ...... set for a bigger regional role.

Louis Berger Power names top executive for Mena

DUBAI, June 25, 2015

US-based Louis Berger, a leading architectural and engineering design firm, has appointed Alaa Abdul Samad as the regional director for its power division in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region.

Louis Berger Power is a general contractor and developer of projects that provides customised, turnkey power solutions up to 100 MW, supporting the full lifecycle of power projects.

Samad boasts more than 20 years’ experience in power systems, including power generation, rental, electro-mechanical and marine engineering, operations and project management, said a statement from the company.

Before joining Louis Berger, he worked for Cummins Power Generation in Dubai, UAE, as the business development and global power projects manager and as the operations and project manager for Cummins Olayan Energy in Saudi Arabia, it added.

Samad is a graduate of St Petersburg State University in Russia, where he earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in electro-mechanical engineering, and of McGill University in Canada, where he completed a master’s degree in electrical engineering.

In his new role, he will lead regional operations and develop and implement the company’s strategic objectives for the Mena region, while also working in close collaboration with the firm’s international operations, said the statement.

Welcoming him into the fold, the company’s president, Frank Jordano, said: “The addition of Samad to our team greatly deepens our bench and improves our ability to pursue new business while responding to existing customers’ power and energy needs.”

“Given Mena policymakers’ focus on infrastructure construction and modernisation, especially in the power and energy sector, we foresee the region as a major growth market,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
