CEO's Bio
Khalid S. Abu Haimed
This has been a pivotal time for Al Khozama, following a strategy that is designed to address a changing marketplace and distinguish the company through a combination of quality, choice, and value.
Our goal is to provide innovative and efficient spaces that allow for the optimization of both owned and third-party assets across all asset classes, taking into consideration hospitality, facility management, food & beverage, technology, and entertainment.
We have a clearly differentiated proposition in an increasingly competitive market, which has placed us at the forefront of the development and management of luxury commercial properties in key locations across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
These encompass unrivaled retail and luxury lifestyle experiences across several categories, including commercial properties in prime real estate locations such as Riyadh CBD.
By ensuring the functionality of the built environment by integrating people, places, processes, and technology, Al Khozama thrives in what is a fast-paced, challenging environment.
Our purpose is to allow our clients and communities to live a better today and build a better tomorrow, and we believe that by pursuing this goal in a sustainable and responsible way we will create long-term value for society and, as a result, for all of our stakeholders.
Managing third-party assets and facilities in order to achieve the ambitions and financial goals of all of our stakeholders, including owners, guests and employees, Al Khozama is pleased to report that it has once again demonstrated the quality and depth of its business portfolio.
By meeting and often exceeding the standards of some of the world’s leading brands and organisations, we have grown to become one of the top 100 companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The market remains very competitive.
However, I am convinced that we have the right strategy in place to meet future opportunities and challenges, thanks to a talented leadership team and a highly engaged and committed workforce.
At Al Khozama, we put quality first, all the while looking for better and more innovative ways to create, produce and deliver.
We promise to keep our clients by delivering the best possible results, and with these principles, we are able to ensure we stay ahead of our competitors.
As one of the leading companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Al Khozama is embarking on a voyage of self-discovery, and we believe that with the current ongoing changes we should not only embrace it, but also leverage its potential to the fullest.
We see a reshaping of the business environment, a transformation in the world that will be different to anything we have experienced before, presenting us with challenges, but also huge opportunities.
We are responding by sharpening our focus and strengthening our efforts to create innovation and value.
Al Khozama is investing in people and technology to secure its long-term prospects, while at the same time delivering sustainable, profitable growth.
Nevertheless, we understand that we will achieve much more by working in tandem with our clients and stakeholders, and our focus will continue to revolve around building relationships to drive change.
We look forward to working together with you on that journey.
