Systems over slogans
An idea is finished when someone else can run it without you.
ProfileDubai · Irbid
One person, two worlds, one system.
A civil engineer who became a performance and governance expert inside Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority — and an entrepreneurship-ecosystem builder in Irbid, Jordan.
Meaningful progress happens when vision becomes a system people can trust, use, and improve.
Dr. Mohammad Hassan Abu-Sheikha is a PMP®-certified projects, quality, excellence and performance expert and a QMS Lead Auditor. Since 2008 he has worked at Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority — from engineering roles to the agency CEO office, the PMO, and strategic performance management.
In parallel he is a community builder and entrepreneur. He founded the ArabNoor Entrepreneurial Group and Conference in 2018, wrote the Irbid Charter for Entrepreneurship Support in 2019, and established the not-for-profit Sindyan in 2020 — all aimed at reversing brain drain by making support visible and reliable for entrepreneurs in a challenging environment.
He holds an MBA (University of Wolverhampton), an Executive Diploma in International Business Management (Westford School of Management) and a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering (Al-Balqa’ Applied University), and is a member of the Project Management Institute and the Jordanian Engineers Association. He works in Arabic and English.
Values in practice.
What shows up in every role, from the factory floor to the executive office.
Honest measures
KPIs are only as good as the data and the conversation behind them.
Learning loops
Lessons learned are written down and handed to the next project.
Open doors
Opportunity should be findable by the right person at the right moment.
Beyond the work
Jogging, reading, football, and a steady habit of voluntary and social activity.
The same curiosity that drives the systems work shows up off duty — in people, places and long walks that clear the next question.
The path is not linear.
