4th November 2024: 3t, the industry leader in the provision of safety-critical training for high-hazard industries, has appointed Hani Sagr as its new Managing Director for the Middle East & North Africa (MENA).
With over 15 years of senior leadership experience in the region and a proven track record across oil & gas, mining, and energy sectors, Sagr will lead 3t’s mission to drive skills development and innovations in training and learning across MENA.

His background equips him with a unique perspective on regional dynamics, enabling him to drive strategic growth, foster collaborative opportunities, and fortify 3t’s presence across the MENA region.
He will be integral to helping MENA meet its ambitious workforce upskilling goals, aligning closely with national priorities, including Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE’s vision of becoming a global innovation and technology hub. In his role, Sagr will also focus on advancing workforce readiness in renewable energy sectors, supporting the region’s transition toward sustainable energy solutions and ensuring that local talent is prepared to meet the growing demand for skills in both traditional and emerging industries.
Following 3t’s recent acquisition of GTSC, the largest energy sector training provider in the Middle East, the company is set to deepen its impact across the region with its three training centers located in Abu Dhabi, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. This strategic combination leverages GTSC’s comprehensive, industry-accredited training capabilities with 3t’s cutting-edge training technologies, including immersive digital learning platforms, virtual reality scenarios and advanced simulators. Together, these resources position 3t to deliver unparalleled solutions that meet the evolving, critical safety needs of the region’s energy sector.
3t Managing Director for MENA, Hani Sagr said: “With the demand for skilled workforces at an all-time high, I am committed to ensuring that personnel in safety-critical roles across sectors like renewables and oil & gas achieve the highest standards of safety, compliance, and competence.
