Infrastructure and Energy Transition Delivery Leader
I deliver infrastructure that works.
Across Europe, MENA, and Sub-Saharan Africa, I lead capital programmes from concept to commissioning. €80M+ portfolios. 40+ sites. Four countries simultaneously. For BP and Shell, and now for the institutions, development banks, and energy companies building climate infrastructure where the delivery gap is largest.

Professional identity
The person sent in when delivery becomes complex.
Mohamad Kabbara is an infrastructure and energy transition professional with 15 years of experience across Europe, the GCC, MENA and Africa. He has directed multi-country programmes for BP and Shell, managed regulatory and grid coordination, recovered stalled projects, and built delivery systems in markets where no established model existed.
His background combines architecture and urban planning, an MBA, public policy at the London School of Economics and leadership training at Harvard Kennedy School. The result is a rare delivery profile: technical enough for site reality, strategic enough for institutions, and culturally fluent enough for difficult geographies.
Core practice
Infrastructure delivery is never only technical.
It is regulatory, political, cultural and human. Fifteen years of working across those dimensions, for major energy companies, in complex geographies, with real institutional stakes, is what I bring to a programme.

Delivery evidence
Selected cases where complexity had to become execution.
These are not portfolio decorations. They are short examples of the type of delivery environment I work in: public stakeholders, contractors, grid interfaces, safety requirements, commercial pressure and operational deadlines.
Belgium · BP Pulse · Public infrastructure
Public EV hubs from tender to field delivery.
Supported BP Pulse market entry in Belgium through public-sector infrastructure delivery, coordinating technical design, local stakeholders, site readiness, EPC interfaces and operational handover. The work required translating a strategic mobility ambition into real public charging infrastructure under regulatory, safety and delivery pressure.
Netherlands · Recovery delivery
Recovering stalled infrastructure under live constraints.
Led site-level recovery work where infrastructure progress depended on grid timing, contractor alignment, technical redesign and safe construction sequencing. The priority was not only to keep the project moving, but to protect operational continuity, stakeholder confidence and commissioning readiness.
Europe · Shell and BP · Multi-energy systems
From energy transition strategy to buildable systems.
Worked across EV charging, LNG expansion, hydrogen-ready sites and mobility hub concepts, connecting spatial design, traffic flow, HSSE, grid coordination, procurement and business requirements into deployable infrastructure models.
Energy infrastructure
What the work looks like on the ground.
BP Pulse. Shell. Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Spain and Romania. LNG, EV charging, hydrogen-ready locations, mobility hubs, grid coordination, contractor governance, municipal negotiations and HSSE recovery. This is the delivery reality behind the headline.

Architecture background and research archive
Selected earlier work, kept as context.
Architecture is part of the foundation of the delivery practice. These selected links open earlier project pages and research material kept in the WordPress archive.
Painting and visual thought
Visual thinking as spatial intelligence.
Spatial intelligence is not separate from delivery intelligence. Reading a site, understanding what a community is built around, and sensing why a stakeholder hesitates require the same cultural observation that painting develops.
These paintings are personal visual works by Mohamad Kabbara and are shown as part of his creative and intellectual practice. They are not for sale.
Founder initiative
LEUSI connects safety standards with frontline reality.
LEUSI is a founder initiative connecting European HSSE standards with frontline construction realities in Lebanon and the wider region. Built from scratch, it focuses on worker certification, safety leadership and institutional capacity. Because the gap between what a safety standard says and what a site supervisor does on day one is where people get hurt.

Available for complex infrastructure mandates.
Based in The Hague. Available internationally and open to relocation. I am focused on Director-level opportunities and advisory mandates in infrastructure delivery, energy transition, climate infrastructure, public affairs, stakeholder relations and emerging market programme leadership.
If you are building something complex in a difficult geography, I want to hear about it.
