Ahmed Kabeer Recognized in Hozpitality's Best 30 Engineering Leaders Powerlist in the Middle East for 2025
Ahmed leads from the toolbox, inspiring a collaborative Engineering culture.
With two decades of distinguished engineering leadership spanning the hospitality industry, Ahmed Kabeer has been honoured in Hozpitality's prestigious Best 30 Engineering Leaders Powerlist for 2025. Currently serving as Cluster Chief Engineer for Ramada by Wyndham Beach Hotel Ajman and Wyndham Garden Ajman Corniche, Kabeer's remarkable career trajectory—from AC technician to overseeing operations across two properties with a team of 25 engineers—epitomizes the power of dedication and continuous learning in hospitality engineering.
What truly sets Kabeer apart is his unique blend of hands-on expertise and leadership philosophy. A self-taught professional who often turns to online resources to solve complex engineering challenges, he has cultivated a reputation as both a technical troubleshooter and an approachable mentor. His recent oversight of Ramada Beach Ajman's renovations showcased his meticulous attention to detail, while his supplier negotiations consistently deliver cost efficiencies without compromising quality.
Beyond technical prowess, Kabeer has fostered an engineering culture where knowledge-sharing and mutual respect thrive. Colleagues describe his leadership style as "leading from the toolbox," whether personally demonstrating equipment repairs or guiding junior engineers through preventive maintenance protocols. This hands-on approach, combined with his calm demeanour under pressure, has made him indispensable during critical situations like extreme weather events or urgent system failures.
Kabeer's inclusion in this year's Powerlist recognizes his individual achievements and highlights the often-unsung role of engineering leaders in shaping guest experiences. As he often remarks, "Our success is measured in uninterrupted comfort—when guests never need to think about the engineering behind their perfect stay." His journey from tools to leadership continues to inspire a new generation of hospitality engineers across the UAE.
