Yasser Ahmed Recognized in Hozpitality's Best 30 Engineering Leaders Powerlist in the Middle East for 2025
The Dual-Specialist Redefining Resort Engineering Excellence.
With eighteen years of multifaceted experience in hospitality engineering, Yasser Ahmed has been honored in Hozpitality's prestigious Best 30 Engineering Leaders Powerlist for 2025. As Director of Engineering and Recreation at Radisson Blu Resort Fujairah, Ahmed represents a unique breed of hospitality professional - equally adept at optimizing complex mechanical systems as he is at curating unforgettable guest experiences.
Ahmed's unconventional career path - from oil rig power plants to the iconic Burj Al Arab and now to Fujairah's premier beachfront resort - has forged an engineering leader with an unparalleled operational perspective. His current dual role sees him seamlessly transitioning between overseeing preventive maintenance programs and elevating poolside service standards, proving that technical excellence and guest satisfaction are two sides of the same coin in luxury resorts.
What distinguishes Ahmed is his data-driven approach to holistic resort management. As a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, he applies the same rigorous process optimization to beach operations as he does to HVAC performance. This methodology has produced remarkable results, whether maintaining one of the world's most complex hotel infrastructures at Burj Al Arab or currently ensuring Radisson Blu's engineering and recreation departments operate in perfect harmony.
"Resort engineering isn't just about keeping systems running - it's about enhancing every moment of the guest journey," Ahmed observes. This philosophy explains his success in roles that traditionally exist in separate silos, demonstrating how mechanical efficiency and recreational excellence can combine to create truly exceptional stays.
From oil rigs to infinity pools, Yasser Ahmed's recognition celebrates professionals who break conventional boundaries to engineer complete resort experiences where every element, from chilled corridors to chilled cocktails, works in perfect synchronization.
