Directed project management and strategic coordination for Dubai’s Demand Side Management Strategy 2030, spanning energy, utilities, and industrial decarbonisation.

The context

Demand Side Management Strategy 2030 · 2015–2022.

Connect the delivery of a broad public-sector strategy with the work of client organisations, engineering teams, consultants, and contractors. The role required alignment between technical requirements, regulatory obligations, priorities, and available capacity.

My contribution

  • Oversaw delivery coordination across a $25 billion-plus strategic energy and water infrastructure portfolio.
  • Developed project prioritisation and scoping approaches linking client objectives with engineering capacity and regulatory requirements.
  • Established coordination mechanisms across more than 20 public and private engineering entities.
  • Monitored portfolio value, risk, and progress to identify bottlenecks and enable targeted interventions.
  • Built and managed a public-private partnership network focused on circular-economy initiatives.

The result

Established structures for coordinating strategy delivery, making portfolio progress and risks visible, and connecting public and private organisations around shared objectives.
