Executive Oversight

Achieve it.

Submarine cable infrastructure is no longer just a technical asset — it is a geopolitical artery, a sovereign investment, and a long-duration commitment of national and commercial capital. In this domain, executive oversight is not about project management — it’s about institutional vision, stakeholder trust, and delivery that aligns with long-term strategic outcomes.

Through TAUsub, Mr. Omar Jassim Bin Kalban offers discreet, high-level oversight to sponsors, boards, and senior leadership teams steering complex subsea cable initiatives. With over 35 years in the field — including nearly three decades as the CEO of a sovereign-aligned marine infrastructure company — he provides top-tier strategic supervision to ensure infrastructure is not only delivered, but positioned to endure.
