With more than 30 years of leadership experience in airport electrical systems and airfield ground lighting (AGL), Hesham brings exceptional technical depth, regulatory engagement, and international project management expertise to the SALA community.

He spent nearly three decades within the Egyptian Airports Company (1990–2018), progressing through key operational and strategic roles including Electrical Supervisor Engineer, Technical Office Manager, International Cooperation Manager, and General Coordinator overseeing the management of five major international airports in Egypt in collaboration with ADP France.

Recognized at the global level, he has been:

His career later expanded into international energy and infrastructure leadership with ABB, serving as:
