The Middle East’s leading integrated project and programme management consultancy Faithful+Gould has appointed Mark Ainger (pictured) as Country Director for its 140 people-strong Qatari division in the Middle East. Mark has been in the industry for 30 years, most recently as Technical Director within the property and buildings division for WSP and Director of Buildings for AECOM; in Qatar.

With a strong background in strategic leadership and business development, and having been responsible for developing client relationships, the Qatar division of Faithful+Gould with Mark at the helm expects to provide integral support to key clients. Mark’s appointment follows Faithful+Gould’s strategy for the region aimed at ensuring the consultancy remains in the best possible position to deliver strong and consistent growth. He will be responsible for developing the company’s business in Qatar and positioning Faithful+Gould to make the most of the strategic opportunities available over the coming years as part of Qatar’s National Vision 2030.

Campbell Gray, Faithful+Gould’s managing director for the Middle East, said: “Qatar remains a key market for us, so we needed an outstanding individual for this role, as we remain committed to support Qatar’s investment aspirations. I’m confident that Mark will do a great job in innovating and growing the business. He’s established a fantastic reputation in the market and is a natural leader who understands how to inspire and motivate talented teams which is one of the most important attributes we look for at Faithful+Gould.”

Based in Faithful+Gould’s Doha office, Mark added: “This is a great opportunity for me to help further develop the Faithful+Gould brand at a time when we can make a real difference to ensure major projects in the region are delivered on time and to budget. Our challenge today is about helping clients with the next phase in the region’s transformation.”
