Operating leadership for the region’s build decade.
Heavy industry, energy transition platforms, materials businesses and the giga-project pipeline reshaping the GCC turn to JOH Partners for the chief executives, chief operating officers, chief sustainability officers and project directors that get build-decade institutions running.
Industrials & Infra
Heavy industry, energy transition, materials and the GCC's giga-project pipeline. CEO, COO, CSO and project leadership mandates.
Leaders for the giga-pipeline.
The Gulf’s build-decade is unprecedented. NEOM, the Red Sea, Diriyah, ROSHN, the Trojena project, Lusail’s next phase, and a continuous pipeline of energy-transition platforms across petrochemicals, hydrogen and materials.
Each demands operating leadership that has actually built things at scale. The candidates we’re placing into Saudi industrial groups have run capex programmes of $5B+, navigated regulator-heavy environments, and held delivery accountability across multi-year horizons.
Our industrials practice partners with sovereign principals, project boards and operating company chairs to source the COOs, project directors and CSOs the giga-pipeline now needs at depth.
