Faisal Alshegry

Senior Analyst, Development Consultancy and Research, Dubai

In my first job, I’ve worked with some of the largest funds in the world.

I always knew I wanted to follow in my family’s footsteps and work in real estate, so I was delighted to join Knight Frank after finishing college. As one of the world’s most successful property firms with a renowned reputation both globally and locally, I knew it was a fantastic place to begin my career.

Since joining, my knowledge of financial modelling and public speaking skills have significantly improved, and continue to do so. I’ve already had some great opportunities – advising large family offices and funds, and working with a major real estate developer – and look forward to what the future holds.

My ultimate career goal is to one day head up a team at Knight Frank, perhaps advising on investment, or to work in the real estate arm of a major fund or company.
