Founder & leadership
Experience that leads to implementable decisions
Waleed Fayez Hegazy leads Sustainability in Business with an approach that combines technical depth with the realities of project delivery. His career spans more than twenty years in environmental management and sustainability across major projects in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Kuwait, covering planning, design, construction and operations. His experience includes water and wastewater, infrastructure and pipelines, energy and industry, transport, urban development and sensitive coastal environments. He focuses on turning regulatory requirements and international frameworks into clear decisions, accountable responsibilities and evidence that can withstand review. Through a network of specialists in related disciplines, each team is shaped around the actual project need rather than a standard package. Whether the requirement is a study, permit, management system or sustainability pathway, the aim is to help the client team implement the solution and sustain improvement after the engagement, while respecting confidentiality and clear boundaries of disclosure.
