About Fady Phalestin

Beyond my role as a project executive with 20+ years of facilitating project strategy and directing project controls of sustaining capital and multibillion-dollar projects across diverse industries, I am known for catalyzing transformative change to elevate profitability and operational excellence. To effect improvements, I influence behavioural shifts in alignment with organizational goals. Embracing servant leadership, I embody the ethos of "changing the world one person at a time," prioritizing the development of individual strengths and interests through clear visions and values. Happy teams are productive, and I'm proud of the high-performance cultures I have cultivated. My strategy for influencing change in people and processes applies three key steps: First, by design, creating strategic visions that align with organizational goals and raise accountability and performance. Second, by establishing robust structures for governance and optimized project execution. Thirdly, by employing one-on-one communication, where I listen, enhance, and repeat to refine outcomes and achieve critical buy-in. STRATEGIC PROJECT LEADERSHIP I specialize in meticulous project planning and optimized project execution, guiding stakeholders on governance, compliance, and methodologies to enhance project performance. Throughout my leadership career, directing projects across various regions and nations, I've demonstrated adeptness at analyzing complex situations and identifying avenues for cost and schedule savings to generate increased profitability. Transformed and rescued project operations at Jacobs, increasing revenue by 200% in 2 years during the economic downturn by optimizing and increasing overall commercial and cost awareness.

My goal as a leader is to continuously improve an organization's ability to remain competitive, maximize profits, and reduce risk – a task best done collectively through clear communication, negotiation, and conflict resolution.
