Few narratives are as compelling in the regional corporate context as that of ACT Group. From a niche player, this company has become one of the fastest-growing and most diversified businesses in the Gulf. At the centre of this transformation is a man with a reputation for prudent preparation and decisive direction: Mohammed bin Hassan Al Naimi, the forward-thinking CEO responsible for the exponential expansion of ACT Group.
“Success is not just about growth. It’s about making a lasting impact and creating value for every stakeholder we reach.”
– Mohammed bin Hassan Al Naimi, CEO, ACT Group
Diversification, Innovation & Regional Dominance
Established with a limited portfolio in construction and engineering industry, ACT Group has become one of the largest business conglomerates in Jordan with investments in a host of strategic industries ranging from infrastructural and industrial sectors to commercial, and agricultural sectors. It wasn’t accidental – it was a result of courageous, data-informed decisions and a future thinking leadership team that is dedicated to innovation and operational excellence.
Under Al Naimi’s direction, ACT has won substantial contracts throughout the GCC and further afield, reinforcing its standing as a reliable partner in the execution of large, complex projects. This is complimented by a range of smart infrastructure solutions that the group has innovated and vast investment in sustainability-related technologies. The group’s projects are now flagship elements of major initiatives such as Vision 2030 in Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s National Development Plan. They are about ACT’s standing alongside transformational timelines.
“We are not just building structures. We’re creating ecosystems that empower future generations.”
Leadership Rooted in Purpose
An aspect that sets Al Naimi apart is his unique combination of business savvy and appreciation for people. Al Naimi is recognized for building an exceptional work culture grounded on ethics and empowerment. He has always elaborated on the importance of nurturing talent within the business. The phrase, “Invest in people, and profits will follow,” captures perfectly why the company was able to create a robust, adaptable, and agile workforce during periods of ambiguity and volatility. This was particularly the case during the COVID-19 pandemic. ACT Group did not just retain employees, they expanded the business and developed new remote project delivery methods.
“Leadership is about being there for your team, especially during the most important times.”
Global Reach, Local Impact
As of now, ACT has an operational reach in three continents. However, its biggest ties are still in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region. The Group is committed to national development by working with local businesses, government, and sustainability initiatives. ACT provides services in renewable energy and smart cities, as well as critical infrastructure, which demonstrates its mastery in technical know-how and local relevance.
“We want to be known not only for the projects we complete, but also for the progress we help create,” Al Naimi affirms.
Awards, Recognition & Global Outlook
Recently, ACT Group has been honoured with multiple awards, including the “GCC Excellence in Infrastructure Award.” Al Naimi received recognition from Business Arabia in 2024 as one of the Top 50 Most Influential CEO’s in the Middle East.
In the near future, ACT Group expects to expand further by targeting strategic acquisitions in Asia and East Africa. This development transitions the company from a regional leader to a global player. Al Naimi’s strategy emphasizes sustainability, digital transformation, and long-lasting value
“Our story is just beginning. We are writing the next chapter with vision, values, and velocity.”
Conclusion: A CEO Who Leads by Example
In a region marked by rapid transformation, the ACT Group stands tall as a beacon of integrated growth, with a leader whose clarity, conviction, and courage serve as a benchmark for others.
Mohammed bin Hassan Al Naimi doesn’t just lead ACT Group—he defines it.
