Mohammed Jameel Al Ramahi serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Masdar (the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company), one of the UAE companies working internationally on developing renewable energy projects and low carbon energy technologies. His career profile is grounded in long experience in the energy sector spanning more than three decades, combining corporate and financial governance, risk management, and the operation of investment portfolios for projects.
Al Ramahi joined Masdar in 2008 as Head of Internal Audit and Compliance and contributed to establishing the corporate risk management function within the company. He then assumed progressively senior executive responsibilities, including managing corporate services and financial affairs in 2011, serving as Chief Financial Officer in 2012, and then as Chief Operating Officer from 2013 to 2016, before being appointed Chief Executive Officer in February 2016. Prior to Masdar, he managed the Internal Audit Office and Risk Management at Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Company (GASCO).
During his tenure, Masdar points to the growth of its global portfolio to exceed 51 GW of clean energy capacity, with a target of reaching 100 GW by 2030, alongside an ambition to become a leading producer of green hydrogen within the same timeframe. This direction is reflected in building projects in more than 40 countries, alongside an acquisitions drive that strengthens its European presence: regional executive lists state that in October 2025 Masdar closed the acquisition of a 49.99% stake in a portfolio comprising four operating solar plants in Spain from Enel Green Power España. In April 2025, Masdar announced the completion of its acquisition of Terna Energy in Greece after purchasing the remaining shares, as part of its international expansion strategy.
On governance and partnerships, Al Ramahi chairs Masdar’s Executive Committee and holds board seats in energy and infrastructure related boards and entities, including the Emirates Waste to Energy Company, the Samruk Kazyna Fund in Kazakhstan, and Shuaa Energy 2 and Shuaa Energy 4, which are linked to developing phases of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai. His name is also listed as Vice Chair of the Global Council for Sustainable Development Goal 7, in addition to his activity in groups that enhance international cooperation in business and sustainability, such as CCI France, Australian Business Group, US-UAE Business Council, and the Sustainable Markets Initiative.
Academically, Al Ramahi holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Finance from the University of Evansville in the United States. In terms of honors, Masdar reports that he received the National Order of Merit from the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, and the Order of Friendship from the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, in addition to an honorary fellowship at the Energy Institute. Al Ramahi has also received several professional awards, such as CEO of the Year 2023 and Leader of the Year 2022 from S&P Global Platts, and the International Energy Diplomacy Personality of the Year award from Gulf Intelligence.
In a reading of his executive trajectory, his early specialization in audit and compliance intersects with a subsequent move into finance and then operations, culminating in leading an international expansion for a renewable energy company that relies on partnerships and acquisitions to build a global portfolio. In statements during 2025, he indicated that Masdar deployed about USD 30 billion over two years through a mix of equity and financing, and that it is considering directing an additional USD 20 billion, reflecting a growth model that balances equity and leverage to accelerate the development of low carbon projects.
