Mona Abdel-Hamid is a multi faceted professional and a seasoned international negotiator. She specializes in the development and implementation of oil and gas, energy and infrastructure projects, with particular emphasis on greenfield projects and Project Finance. Having worked on all sides of the coin i.e. corporate, investment banking as well as consultancy, Mona has gained her experience “hands-on” with both operational and field experience. She is an expert on ‘Production Sharing Agreements” and has been involved both in the drafting and amending of legislature particularly production sharing agreements, concessionary arrangements covering infrastructure, enabling legislation and privatization of utilities. She has also successfully set up and managed start ups taking in consideration adverse market conditions and has experience working with multilateral and bilateral agencies. Fluent in Arabic, English, French, Italian and with a good knowledge of German, Mona’s successful track record in developing and closing complex transactions is due to her capacity to absorb, integrate and manage culture differences, while focusing on win win situations. Mona’s strength lies in the fact that she is particularly sensitive both to the socio-economic conditions that impact infrastructure projects as well as macro constraints which impact their success and has often acted as “a mediator” between both Governments and Multinationals to reach compromise. As a result of growing up and working in the US, Middle East and Europe she has acquired a truly international set of analytical, strategic and decision making skills enhanced by her ability to deal with conflict situations.
