Experience

PwC Middle East

May 2021 – May 2026

Net Zero and Sustainability Lead

Reporting to: Regional Leadership Team & CSO

  • Led PwC Middle East's net zero strategy and governance framework, reporting to the regional leadership team and overseeing emissions accounting, target tracking, policy development, analytics and cross-functional delivery across Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
  • Designed and implemented the Middle East net zero framework, aligned with TCFD, WEF/IBC metrics, CDP and broader ESG disclosure requirements, strengthening governance, accountability and leadership decision-making across the region.
  • Developed sustainability reporting methodologies, controls and Alteryx-based analytics that improved data quality, transparency and auditability across emissions datasets; related disclosures and underlying processes were subject to external assurance under ISAE 3000 (Revised).
  • Led Scope 1 and 2 decarbonisation initiatives across regional operations, contributing to a 69% reduction in operational emissions.
  • Led the procurement and implementation of renewable electricity across all PwC Middle East offices to fulfil RE100 commitments, and built a regional supplier engagement programme to embed climate metrics and Science Based Targets into the supply chain, contributing to a 9% increase in suppliers setting SBTs and a 27% increase in formal SBT commitments.
  • Designed and built a workforce localisation decision-support model using Alteryx and Power BI, providing leadership with quantified data on cost savings, emissions reductions, flights avoided and accommodation savings when frequent-flying staff are relocated closer to their primary clients — enabling a strategic shift away from PwC Middle East's fly-in fly-out operational model. This model alone unlocked $4M in cost savings by quantifying the full operational and financial impact of localisation decisions.
  • Produced executive dashboards and reporting on emissions performance, climate risks and transition priorities, enabling data-driven leadership decisions across the region.
