How Kamal is building a better working world

“I have always worked in the nexus of the public and private sector to help deliver transformative infrastructure. I truly believe in the value of the public sector and that by involving in the private sector at the right time and place, the benefits to society can be hugely improved.

My passion is to bring both closer together and bridge the gap between them given I have worked on both sides.”
