Dr. Kamal Waleed Akramah

INTRODUCTION

I’ve been involved in the building industry since 1985 – long before I had even received my Bachelor Degree in Civil Engineering in 1995 , EMBA degree in General Management in 2011 and Professional Doctorate in General Management in 2023.

With extensive expertise in various engineering projects and departments, I’ve developed strong management skills and technical knowledge of construction standards ensuring that any project I handle is professionally managed and that the delivery not only meets the client’s expectations, but also exceeds them.

As an accomplished Projects Execution Manager with extensive civil engineering expertise, I would like to share my résumé with you to showcase my performance in managing construction teams and how I have been instrumental in achieving growth and financial success for multinational corporations.

The breadth of my experience, along with the years of expertise in building construction, not to mention my specialized skills, have allowed me to offer proven leadership and a history of significant results.

Throughout my years of practice, my flexibility has allowed me to develop a business acumen to overcome all obstacles and meet the goals of my employers.

My professional experience and personal work ethic will also be assets to organizations, as well as an inspiration to management teams and employees.

Moreover, I’m keen on constantly developing myself to be more adaptable, energized by challenge, and able to manage rapid change with aplomb.

Additionally, as a strong team player dedicated to the growth and success of the organization as a whole, my enthusiasm and motivation will contribute to the strengthening of the teams I manage.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss my professional qualifications and look forward to speaking further.

As * Director of Project’s Management Department *

NIC was established in 1999 with the primary purpose of developing the Breakwater area in order to optimize the use of this prime location for economic and social enrichment. As such, the Corporation set a plan for development based on the market’s needs and the Corporation’s financial resources at the time. The vision began with the Marina Mall project which was later to become the premiere shopping destination in Abu Dhabi.

Marina Mall was built to cater to the need for a high-quality modern shopping mall with large circulation spaces, quality anchor tenants, and a vast collection of brand names. Opened to the public in 2001, the mall was well-received by both tenants and shoppers.

The Corporation continued its growth with the completion of Marina Royal Complex in 2006; A residential compound consisting of 100 top luxury villas, wherein all units enjoy unparalleled sea views. By 2006, the first extension of Marina Mall was completed and opened to the public. The extension enhanced the mall mix which resulted in a substantial increase in footfall, reaching almost 16 million visitors by 2010.

NIC also continues to lease Marina Village Office Park; A compound developed in 2008, consisting of 107 villas for residential and commercial use. As of 2018, NIC added the extravagant Marina Sunset development to its portfolio of projects with 67 villas and 210 residential apartments bringing modern luxury living to the capital.
