The built environment is often judged by what we see; its architecture, design, scale, and ambition. Yet behind every successful development, thriving community, world-class commercial tower, luxury hospitality destination, and critical infrastructure asset lies an industry that quietly ensures everything operates seamlessly: facility management.
Across the GCC, facility management has evolved far beyond traditional maintenance and operational support. Today, it stands at the forefront of innovation, sustainability, digital transformation, and customer experience. As cities become smarter, developments become more complex, and expectations continue to rise, the role of facility management leaders has never been more important.
It is with great pride that Property News International presents the Power 30 Facility Management Leaders 2026, a recognition of the executives, innovators, and visionaries who are setting new benchmarks across the industry.
This year's list celebrates individuals who have demonstrated exceptional leadership while navigating an increasingly dynamic and demanding landscape. These leaders are not only responsible for maintaining and optimizing some of the region's most valuable assets, but are also driving innovation, embracing technology, championing sustainability, developing talent, and creating long-term value for clients, investors, and communities.
The Power 30 is also a celebration of the companies they represent; organizations that continue to raise standards across the GCC through operational excellence, customer-centric service delivery, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Together, these leaders and organizations are helping shape the future of the built environment while ensuring that the region's landmark developments remain efficient, resilient, sustainable, and future-ready.
Our selection process considered a broad range of factors, including service excellence, innovation, sustainability initiatives, operational performance, client impact, workforce development, health and safety leadership, business growth, and overall contribution to the industry. The result is a distinguished group of professionals whose influence extends far beyond their organizations and whose achievements continue to elevate the facility management profession throughout the region.
As the GCC enters a new era of growth driven by ambitious national visions, mega-projects, smart city initiatives, and increasing sustainability targets, facility management will remain a critical pillar of long-term success. The leaders featured in this edition are not simply responding to change; they are helping define it.
