  • With extensive experience across the region, Sagr brings deep industry expertise from his previous roles with Eurasian Resources Group, Welltec, Schlumberger and Schneider Electric.
  • This strategic appointment closely follows 3t’s recent acquisition of GTSC, the largest energy sector training provider in the Middle East, significantly boosting its presence in the region.
  • Commenting on his new role, Hani Sagr, said, “3t was a real draw for me having expanded its presence across the Middle East to now being at the forefront of safety critical training in the region. I look forward to building upon our current, highly-valued partnerships, whilst leading the business as we expand our reach across the energy sector and new emerging markets.”

 

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.

Sagr’s extensive regional expertise, developed through senior leadership roles at prominent organizations such as Schneider Electric, Schlumberger, Welltec and Eurasian Resources Group, positions him to deepen 3t’s partnerships with key regional stakeholders. 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.

“My role spans a variety of markets, and I am dedicated to aligning 3t’s cutting-edge learning technologies to drive innovation and improve learning outcomes for individuals and industries alike.

“Across the region, we are focused on supporting national visions, including Saudi Vision 2030 and the UAE’s ambition to become a global hub for innovation and technology.

“By upskilling the workforce and enhancing productivity, we will contribute to the digital transformation objectives of these nations, leading the charge in developing a future-ready workforce.”

Kevin Franklin, CEO of 3t, said: The appointment of Hani Sagr as our new Managing Director for MENA further showcases our commitment to the region following our recent acquisition of GTSC.

“With extensive sector experience and a deep understanding of the regional landscape, Hani is well-positioned to lead our initiatives in driving innovation and enhancing learning outcomes for local workforces.

“Our strategic tie-up of 3t and GTSC empowers us to leverage the combined capabilities of our businesses to have a significant impact on national visions, ensuring that personnel across safety-critical industries are equipped with the skills needed to meet growing demands.”
