KEO launches independent FM consultancy – OPTIMA
The firm was launched in response to growing demand for specialised facility management services that extend beyond traditional requirements
KEO International Consultants (KEO) has launched OPTIMA, an independent facility management (FM) consultancy that aims to change how building and infrastructure assets are managed across the GCC and beyond.
As part of KEO’s Allied Practices, OPTIMA benefits from a rich legacy of excellence, yet it stands as a distinct entity, delivering bespoke FM solutions that are data-driven, customer-centric, and designed to maximise value and longevity, the firm noted in a statement.
The FM consultancy was launched in response to growing demand for specialised facility management services that extend beyond the traditional. Whether it’s maintaining complex infrastructure or maximising the value of real estate portfolios, OPTIMA brings an innovative approach to facilities management, focusing on proactive asset care, operational efficiency, and long-term value creation, said the statement from KEO.
“Our goal with OPTIMA is to deliver transformative FM solutions that help our clients maximise their investments in real estate and infrastructure,” said Donna Sultan, President and CEO of KEO.
As an independent provider, OPTIMA will offer tailored services designed to meet the specific needs of its clients – whether public or private – while drawing on KEO’s 60 years of experience in design, engineering, and project management, KEO explained.
“While we benefit from KEO’s incredible legacy, we are charting our own course as an independent leader in the FM sector, offering a fresh perspective on how assets are managed, maintained, and optimised,” stated Jason Morris, Managing Principal of OPTIMA.
According to KEO, OPTIMA will leverage the latest in FM technology and best practices to offer services that extend asset lifecycles, reduce operational costs, and ensure higher asset availability.
From FM strategic planning and facility condition assessments to digital integration and building services analysis, OPTIMA provides solutions designed to create resilient, efficient, and future-proof facilities. With a focus on sustainability, digitalisation, and practical innovation, OPTIMA’s team of FM specialists works closely with clients to ensure their assets perform optimally throughout their lifecycle, minimising risks and enhancing value, the statement highlighted.
KEO also said that while OPTIMA will operate independently, it will maintain the high standards of quality and client service that KEO is known for. This allows OPTIMA to deliver cutting-edge solutions to clients across many market sectors, while also benefiting from access to KEO’s vast regional network and resources.
“With OPTIMA, we’re creating something new, driven by the same values that have defined KEO but focused solely on the evolving needs of the FM industry. We look forward to working with asset owners to help them navigate the future of facility management, with solutions that are as innovative as they are pragmatic,” concluded Morris.
