What does it take for Azeem Khan to deliver mega projects?

Leading the commercial delivery of some of the region's most complex and transformative programmes requires more than technical expertise. It demands integrity, clear decision-making, and a long-term vision for creating value. 
As Commercial Director at Egis, Azeem Khan has played a key role in delivering major infrastructure and giga projects across the Middle East, including the AlUla Infrastructure Master Plan, Six Flags Qiddiya, and other landmark developments. 
From reflecting on his recent FRICS Fellowship to sharing the leadership lessons gained from managing large-scale programmes, Azeem offers valuable insights into what it takes to deliver projects that leave a lasting legacy successfully.

What has shaped you most as a commercial leader throughout your career?

Working across diverse projects and cultures has taught me that people are the greatest driver of success. Strong relationships and clear decision-making consistently deliver the best outcomes.

Congratulations on achieving the FRICS Fellowship. What does this milestone mean to you?

Becoming a RICS Fellow is both an honour and a responsibility, years of dedication as well. It motivates me to continue learning, leading, and giving back to the profession.

AlUla brings together heritage, culture, and future ambitions. What makes contributing to this programme personally meaningful to you?

Contributing to a place with such global cultural significance is a privilege. Knowing our work will leave a positive legacy makes every challenge worthwhile.

What is the most important lesson you've learned from managing complex giga projects?

The biggest lesson is that complexity demands simplicity in leadership. Clear governance and timely decisions make the greatest difference.

What leadership quality is most critical when delivering large-scale programmes?

Integrity is the quality that underpins every successful programme. It builds trust, strengthens relationships, and enables better decisions.
