Consortium & Partner Engagement Strategy

Build it.

Submarine cable systems rarely operate in isolation. They are cross-jurisdictional by design, politically sensitive by nature, and often owned or influenced by a patchwork of stakeholders — from sovereign bodies to private carriers and global infrastructure funds.

At this level of complexity, project success depends less on technical integration and more on institutional alignment.

Through TAUsub, Mr. Omar Jassim Bin Kalban provides strategic guidance to boards, governments, and lead sponsors on forming and sustaining high-functioning consortia capable of navigating multi-party dynamics, geopolitical constraints, and long-term operational stability.

With nearly three decades of executive leadership at the helm of a sovereign-aligned marine infrastructure enterprise, Mr. Omar has led, negotiated, and de-risked partnerships across the Gulf, Africa, and Asia — ensuring alignment where failure was not an option.
