Roshan D’Costa Appointed as Director – Human Resources, Fuels, South East Europe, Middle East, Africa and Central Asia Regions at Bureau Veritas Group

For more than 28 years, Tamer Shalaby has built a distinguished career in Human Capital  and Organizational Development, marked by his ability to translate people strategy into  tangible business results. His journey reflects a rare balance between strategic leadership  and operational depth, enabling organizations to grow, adapt, and sustain performance in  complex and fast-evolving environments across the MENA region. 

Throughout his career, Tamer has moved fluidly between enterprise-scale organizations  and transformation-focused mandates, shaping HR functions that are deeply embedded in  business strategy rather than operating on the sidelines. A defining aspect of his  professional path has been working within large, complex organizations where HR must  operate simultaneously as an operational backbone and a strategic driver—an  experience that sharpened his executive judgment and transformation capability. 

During this phase of his career, Tamer held senior HR leadership responsibilities within TE  Data, one of Egypt’s leading telecommunications companies. Operating in a highly  dynamic and technology-driven environment, he contributed to both operational HR  leadership and strategic workforce initiatives, gaining valuable exposure to scale,  governance, and organizational complexity. This experience strengthened his ability to align  HR operations with broader business priorities—an approach that continues to shape his  leadership style today. 

Building on this foundation, Tamer went on to assume broader executive and group-level  roles. He currently serves as Human Capital Senior Director at IGI Group, a diversified  organization spanning real estate, construction, sports management, and facility  management. Leading HR across nine subsidiaries, he ensures alignment, governance,  and integration at group level while driving leadership development, succession planning,  and cultural transformation. 

At IGI, his impact extends beyond systems and policies. He has led executive recruitment  and leadership pipeline development, introduced engagement frameworks that reduced  turnover and improved satisfaction, and championed culture transformation initiatives that  embedded trust, collaboration, and innovation across the group. 

In parallel, Tamer holds the role of Deputy CEO & Chief Human Resources Officer  (CHRO) at MB Group, where he operates at executive level, overseeing organizational  performance while steering people strategy. In this dual role, he ensures that HR functions  as a strategic enabler of growth, agility, and long-term organizational resilience. 

Alongside his corporate leadership roles, Tamer is widely recognized for delivering high impact consultancy transformations. He has led recent consultancy engagements with 

MODAD Group, NAIA Developments, and Q Developments, where he was entrusted with  reshaping HR functions and organizational culture within accelerated timelines. 

Across these engagements, his work has included redesigning talent and retention  frameworks, restructuring compensation systems, launching leadership development  programs, and embedding performance-driven cultures—always with a focus on  sustainability rather than short-term fixes. 

Beyond these assignments, Tamer has advised more than 15 organizations across  industries including technology, retail, hospitality, and construction. His advisory work is  characterized by speed, clarity, and pragmatism—quickly diagnosing organizational  challenges and delivering solutions that leave lasting impact. 

Academically, Tamer holds a BSc in Commerce from Cairo University, a Postgraduate  Diploma in Human Resources from the American University in Cairo, and a Mini MBA  from Frost & Sullivan (UK), alongside multiple professional certifications in HR leadership,  compensation, organizational change, and assessment methodologies. 

What ultimately distinguishes Tamer Shalaby is his ability to bridge strategy and  execution, vision and delivery. Whether leading within large enterprises, driving group wide transformation, or executing rapid consultancy mandates, his hallmark remains the  same: transforming HR into a catalyst for organizational agility, leadership strength, and  cultural resilience.
