About Sebastien Bedu

I am the General Manager for the Middle East at International SOS, with over two decades of leadership experience in complex and high-risk environments. I lead strategy, risk, and performance across a multi-business P&L, supporting government and private-sector organizations operating in politically, operationally, and climatically challenging contexts.In parallel, I serve as Board Member – Middle East at the Global Business Travel Association, contributing to the region’s business travel agenda with a focus on resilience, risk, and duty of care in an increasingly uncertain global environment.I regularly engage with senior stakeholders on enterprise risk, crisis preparedness, and organizational resilience, and contribute to public discussions as a speaker and media commentator on these topics, alongside sustainability and leadership in times of uncertainty.I am completing an Executive MBA at HEC Paris and hold a Board Governance certification from the Wharton School, further strengthening my perspective on strategy, financial oversight, and governance as I continue to evolve as a senior executive and non-executive director.
