Background

About Senthil Arjunan

I’m a digital transformation and innovation executive with over 20 years of experience shaping giga-projects, smart cities, and real estate ecosystems across the UK, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. My mission: future-proof operations and deliver measurable outcomes by aligning digital strategy with business goals. At Qiddiya, I lead digital engineering for one of Saudi Arabia’s most ambitious giga-projects, embedding BIM/VDC, GIS, PMIS, and digital twin ecosystems to create a scalable smart infrastructure backbone. Previously at Aldar, I spearheaded group-wide transformation initiatives from Common Data Environments and digital procurement to enterprise BIM and dFMA initiatives that earned multiple awards for innovation and digital excellence. Earlier in my career, I guided Interserve’s digital construction roadmap in the UK, positioning the company as one of the first to achieve BRE BIM Level 2 certification, and at Maber Architects, I pioneered early adoption of VR/AR, 3D printing, and BIM/Digital Delivery across complex projects. I advise boards, C-suites, and startups alike on how to move from vision to execution. Whether it’s designing a digital twin strategy for a giga-project or implementing a smart city backbone, I build the teams, platforms, and partnerships needed to deliver.
