IN FOCUS
NAME: Sammy Soliman
COMPANY: Piety Group
POSITION: CEO
LOCATION: Sydney, Australia
Today, Sammy Soliman is exactly where he’s meant to be – working in the construction sector. Even as a young boy, it was all he wanted to do. “My father was an engineer and builder, and ever since I was a child, I can remember always wanting to follow in his footsteps,” he grins. “While I was on school holidays, I’d go with him to work, nagging him about what I could do to help.”
From those formative years spent observing his dad onsite and behind the scenes, Sammy’s love for the industry only increased, so that once he was faced with the decision about which career he’d pursue, the answer was obvious. After completing his Bachelor of Engineering at the University of Technology Sydney, he leapt headfirst into the industry.
“I’ve been involved with the property construction sector for more than 30 years now,” Sammy says. “I started my career as a structural engineer and have had broad experience in the construction sector, property development, as well as investments and asset management. My project portfolio extends across award-winning hotels, large developments and large-scale, high-rise developments.”
And there’s no denying he made the right choice all those years ago. Sammy tells The CEO Magazine that his passion has only increased over time.
