Please give us a brief about you & your educational background? and highlight your past experience in the GCC region?
I have a degree in Landscape Architecture and MSc in Horticulture.I started my career with The Oberoi Group in India and from there opportunities came knocking in. Having worked on many key projects, gave me an opportunity and an exposure to study the creativity of national & international landscape designers. Fortified with a rich experience in the luxury hospitality sector where an eye for detail and a quest for perfection is required, allowed me to excel in my work and motivated me to explore opportunities and deliver the best. I entered the GCC market with the launch of my personal venture – Fiona Environs, ever since then we have been successfully delivering some remarkable projects such as Banyan Tree Resort, Expo 2020 Sales Office, Bal Al Bahr, Millennium Estates, Grand Views, Fields, Oman Convention Centre, to name a few. Fiona Environs recently celebrated its 10th anniversary in the UAE and it was a great moment for me to be surrounded by our clients and colleagues who continue to appreciate our work.
When did your company first set up business in the Region?
Fiona Environs was first established in India in 2000 and then we expanded our operations in the UAE 10 years ago and in Oman 2 years ago. Ever since then there has been no looking back. We are also looking at expanding our footprints to Calabar, Nigeria.
