DOHA: Engineering giant Siemens has appointed Adrian Wood (pictured) as CEO of the company’s operations in Qatar, effective from September. Wood assumes his new role after almost four years as CEO of Siemens in Kuwait. He takes over from Fatih Sakiz, who will pursue new opportunities.
Wood’s career at Siemens started in 1990 as a Marketing Analyst within Siemens Environmental Systems in the United Kingdom. During his tenure in Kuwait, Wood was instrumental in driving growth across the company’s divisions, leading to a 10 percent increase in the number of employees to around 300 and more than doubling Siemens’ business in the country. “Adrian Wood brings to Qatar a wealth of regional and international experience from his successful career at Siemens. I am confident he will make valuable contributions to our growth story in Qatar,” said Dietmar Siersdorfer, CEO of Siemens Middle East and UAE.
In Qatar, Wood will focus on strengthening key growth areas and contributing to local value creation in line with Qatar’s National Vision 2030. Siemens has been operating in Qatar since 1970 and employs around 500 people.
