He has led multidisciplinary teams across sectors and geographies, always balancing technical strength with emotional intelligence.

With deep experience on both the client and delivery side, Moustafa has led the planning, procurement, design and execution of major public infrastructure projects. He understands how to shape effective bidding strategies, structure delivery through P3 and traditional models and align stakeholders around shared goals. His insight into public sector priorities—value for money, accountability and transparency—guides every phase of project development.

Throughout his career he has built and scaled high-performing teams, led multi-sector initiatives and helped launch transformative capital programs across regions. Whether advancing new builds, complex renovations or portfolio-wide initiatives, Moustafa brings a strategic lens to program delivery—ensuring public investments deliver lasting value and measurable outcomes.

At NORR, Moustafa leads our Public sector portfolio with a purpose-driven approach rooted in performance, design excellence and trust. He champions design that is people-first and future-ready—from WELL standards and carbon neutrality to inclusive user experience and stakeholder engagement. His approach is grounded in technical excellence and guided by the belief that public architecture should be humanized, sustainable and fiscally responsible.

Outside of work, Moustafa finds clarity in lakeside running, global travel and exploring the architecture of flavor through his culinary skills. Whether crafting a capital strategy or a multi-course meal, he believes every successful outcome begins with a thoughtful recipe—and the perfect ingredients: a capable, empowered team to bring it to life.
