Majed, with such extensive experience in real estate, private equity and assets management what is it about Infracorp that makes you motivated to work towards the shared goal, what makes you proud to be on the board of directors for Infracorp? What drives me is the vision that I have set out with my team for Infracorp. Beyond the quintessential infrastructure developer was this inspiring idea that pushed the confines of real estate & infrastructure development; an organization that was founded on sustainability at its core and creating cities of the future that operate in the nexus of real estate, energy, and infrastructure. This visionary concept has transformed into reality that is embedded in the DNA of Infracorp. What truly motivates me is our commitment to a well-defined strategy that aligns with our geographical and sectoral positioning. Parallel to Bahrain’s National Strategy, we are on a mission to comprehensively expand and diversify our portfolio. This commitment is not just an internal drive; it’s a shared vision with our stakeholders, including shareholders, clients, and the dedicated Infracorp team. As a CEO, I take immense pride in being part of an organization that not only envisions the future but actively shapes it. The transformative impact we have had and continue to have on the landscape of real estate and infrastructure development is a testament to our unwavering commitment and forward-thinking approach. What is the process that Infracorp uses to decide where to begin a new project and what areas are the most in need of investment? Our business model is centered around community building, which naturally is the foundation of our sustainability strategy as well. Our focus is on addressing social infrastructure gaps, and this ethos guides our decision-making process when embarking on new projects which drives us to go beyond physical structures to recognize the inherent value that lies in the broader impact on society. New projects are sourced through a methodical and systematic approach by conducting in-depth analyses of the gaps in the regions we have identified as geographical targets. We also realize the significant role of our wider stakeholders and ensure that we collaborate with various partners across our value chain. Our regional partners share similar visions and support us in constantly exploring prospects to expand our operations. We collaborate on mixed-use developments, innovative development solutions, cutting-edge technologies, and ventures in the hospitality sector. By following this strategy, we have achieved significant milestones, such as being the first Bahraini-based company to issue $900 million in Green Sukuk, listed on the London Stock Exchange. “As a CEO, I take immense pride in being part of an organization that not only envisions the future but actively shapes it.” CEO Today Middle East Awards 2024 - BAHRAIN - - 24 -
