Faisal joined HC Group in 2022 and worked within the Liquid Fuels practice initially from the London office before relocating to Abu Dhabi in 2023 to support the growth of our Middle East business.
Prior to joining HC Group, Faisal spent four years within the executive search space, focused on working with private equity-backed technology clients across Europe and North America.
Faisal holds a Bachelor’s degree in International Business from the University of Kent.
