Egis, a global leader in architectural, consulting, construction engineering, operations, and maintenance services, has appointed Frederico Justus as the new Chief Executive Officer for the Middle East and South Asia. This appointment is part of a wider restructuring initiative under the company’s Impact the Future plan, aimed at positioning Egis among the top 10 construction engineering firms worldwide and doubling its revenue by 2029.
Laurent Germain, CEO of Egis Group, commented, “As the global demand for sustainable and digitally enabled infrastructure grows, Egis is well-positioned to lead at every stage of development. Our goal is to be at the forefront of this transformation, particularly in regions like the Middle East and South Asia, where national ambitions and rapid development are aligning on an unprecedented scale.” Germain also acknowledged the remarkable five-year leadership of Alaa Abusiam in the region, which has laid a strong foundation for Egis’ future success. Abusiam will now take on a key leadership role in the Americas.
Looking ahead, Germain expressed confidence in Justus’s leadership, saying, “Frederico’s extensive operational expertise, strategic vision, and global outlook will be crucial in enhancing Egis’s presence in the region and delivering integrated value to our clients and communities.”
With more than 25 years of experience, Justus has held leadership roles across multinational companies, focusing on operational excellence, large-scale project delivery, and strategic expansion. His background spans diverse sectors, including commercial growth, digitalization, and low-carbon initiatives. Justus’s international experience, including a decade in the Middle East, equips him with the unique ability to lead Egis through its next phase of sustainable growth and profitability.
Before joining Egis in 2024, Justus was the Chief Operating Officer for the Middle East and South Asia. His previous roles include senior positions in engineering, digital technology, and energy firms, where he drove digital transformation and decarbonization efforts across both emerging and established markets. His experience includes leading multi-billion-dollar operations, fostering innovation-driven partnerships, and advancing AI and data-enabled solutions to strengthen urban infrastructure and resilience.
As part of a broader restructuring, Egis is reorganizing into five regions: France; Europe & Africa; Middle East & South Asia; the Americas (North & South America); and Asia-Pacific (Asia, Australia & New Zealand). This restructuring aims to accelerate growth and further enhance Egis’s global reach.
Egis continues to focus on delivering infrastructure solutions that address the evolving needs of clients, communities, and global stakeholders. With Frederico Justus at the helm and a revitalized leadership team in place, the company is set to strengthen its role as a trusted partner in driving innovation, economic transformation, and sustainability across the Middle East and South Asia.
Egis operates in 100 countries, with 20,500 employees contributing their expertise to projects that foster sustainable development and climate resilience. The company is committed to providing innovative, cutting-edge solutions that improve urban environments and support the collective well-being of societies worldwide.
