FEA Distinguished Alumnus: M. Moghrabi

Mr. Mohamed S. Moghrabi was one of the 2008 FEA Distinguished Alumni. Introduced by Dean Ibrahim Hajj during the awards ceremony, he gave a talk entitled Engineering Vision, Leadership, Perseverance Outstanding Success! .
Mr. Mohamed S. Moghrabi was born in Lebanon in January 1973. He received his Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering (with distinction) from AUB in 1995. In 1999 he obtained the Master of Engineering (Civil Engineering) degree also from AUB, with the thesis research completed at the University of Texas at Austin. Upon graduation, he worked for the international design consultancy firm Dar Al-Handasah (Shair & Partners). He started with Dar in the Beirut Head Office, and worked on projects in Lebanon, the Gulf, and North Africa. In 1999, he became Program Coordinator for the Dubai International Airport Expansion project. He also served as Project Manager in Qatar, for a number of high profile projects including the Qatar-Bahrain Causeway (worlds longest) and the New Doha International Airport project, with total estimated value exceeding USD 3 billion.
Mr. Moghrabi later moved to Tameer Holding, the real estate developer. He joined Tameer Holding as Director of International Operations, covering the Gulf and Middle East, North Africa, Far East, South East Asia, Eastern Europe and parts of Central Africa. Shortly thereafter, he was promoted to Senior Director, with expanded scope to cover the entire Tameer strategic portfolio, UAE and International, reporting directly to the CEO and Shareholders/Board.
The objective and content of my talk would target to link the discipline of the Engineering character formation with success outstanding success of the individual. To achieve this objective, I will begin with a brief overview of my personal experience, starting from the day of graduation, through the various jobs I held and dozens of countries I experienced, leading up to this point in time. Thereafter, I will present how the three simple - and seemingly cliché - words in my subject line ―Vision, Leadership, Perseverance‖ actually form the raw ingredients to achieving unlimited levels of success. I will finally close with advice to my colleagues who will graduate shortly, as well as some humble observations, comments and suggestions to my greater family the AUB administration, senior faculty members and professors.
