Most recently the Director of Operations at WSP in the Middle East, Doherty previously was a Senior Director at The Red Sea Development Company and spent twelve years at engineering consultancy Mott MacDonald. Earlier, he spent over a decade in transport planning roles in Europe.

“Our clients are seeking resilient strategies to enhance the long-term value of their real estate assets. JLL is their project delivery partner, and with Sean’s wealth of experience and strategic thinking, we are highly confident that he will help our clients achieve greater value across each stage of their project,” said Ben Jackson, Head of Project & Development Services for the Middle East & Africa.

JLL’s Project & Development Services group has more than 500 consultants across the Middle East & Africa. Doherty now leads the largest practice within this group (250 consultants), taking on the responsibility from Alan Baker, who has stepped down from the role as he prepares for retirement.

The team Doherty oversees supports clients with an end-to-end project delivery capacity, from project planning to PMO setup through to delivery, cost management, benefits tracking, and digital tooling.

“I am delighted to take on this role,” said Doherty. With our dedicated team, we will continue to deliver long-term value and partnerships with our clients.”
