Marielli Bou Harb, Partner at ADL, adds “I’m very excited to be back at ADL. What attracts me to the company is its focus on innovation, always looking to implement the latest thinking and methodologies in real world projects; and also, the people here, who are united by a spirit of both comradeship and entrepreneurialism. However, what really motivated me to rejoin is ADL’s commitment to helping define a cleaner and greener energy sector in the MENA region – as such, I’m particularly looking forward to my role in its Climate Solutions team.”
