The growth reflects demands from governments and businesses in the region as they focus on sustainable practices and address the urgent challenges posed by climate change

Cundall has strengthened its sustainability services in the region with three leadership appointments in the UAE, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The firm says the MENA sustainability team has tripled in size over the past year, reflecting demands from governments and businesses in the region as they focus on sustainable practices to address the urgent challenges posed by climate change.

As the region accelerates its efforts to meet its national sustainability agendas, the construction industry plays a pivotal role in driving economic transformation and advancing the path toward Net Zero. The addition of key leaders to its regional offices marks a significant milestone in the company’s mission to support clients seeking cutting-edge, sustainable solutions.

Bysshe Wallace has been appointed to lead Cundall’s sustainability offering in Qatar. With over 18 years in the industry, Wallace’s experience spans life cycle analysis, ESG strategy development and strategic sustainability advisory services delivered to global and regional public and private entities.

Shahana Sayed has been appointed to drive the growth of Cundall’s sustainability services in the UAE. As a certified sustainability practitioner, with over 18 years of experience leading innovative energy efficiency and sustainability projects, Sayed specialises in guiding design and construction projects towards achieving sustainability goals.

Haytham Ayoub meanwhile is joining Cundall’s sustainability offering in Saudi Arabia. Ayoub brings over 15 years of experience managing complex, multidisciplinary consulting projects and supporting private and government clients with their Net Zero ambitions. Known for his technical expertise in energy modeling and carbon management, Ayoub will lead on driving impactful change and sustainability goals across the region and Saudi Vision 2030.

Mario Saab, Head of Sustainability MENA, explained: “As national visions across the region drive the transformation towards sustainable development, we are witnessing ambitious commitments from governments and developers alike to adopt Net Zero carbon strategies, decarbonise existing assets, and create smart, sustainable cities. This is a pivotal moment for our region, and Cundall is proud to play a leading role in shaping this future, supported by a highly skilled team across our Riyadh, Doha, Dubai and Bengaluru offices. Bysshe, Haytham, and Shahana are already making significant contributions to our clients’ ambitions, providing innovative solutions and strategic guidance to help them achieve their sustainability goals.”
