Mohamed Benmessaoud
Partner & Board Member
Mohamed is a project and program management professional with an engineering background and more than 17 years of experience across multiple industries and several continents (North America, Middle East, North Africa and Europe).
Mohamed’s journey started very early with a passion for development and technology before even completing his Computer Science Engineering and continued throughout his tenures across Algeria, Qatar, Canada and several other regions. The revelation came in 2008 when he joined a Technology company in Qatar and worked alongside Khaled Yusuf who unveiled a new but promising interest for project management. With Khaled’s mentorship, Mohamed rapidly grew a real connection for project management as it combined few of his interests and continued leading major projects and program for major organizations such as Qatar Petroleum, Ooredoo Group, Hyundai Construction, HSBC and many others.
Continuing to build on this growth, Mohamed decided to widen his experience and joined a new organization to lead the delivery team where he managed the establishment of a new digital delivery practice for the company and grew the team to more than 35 professionals in multiple areas of expertise, ranging from user experience and design to development and product management.
With a wide experience in multiple industries, in 2018, Mohamed decided to move to Canada and founded his consulting practice which currently serves key clients in the province of Ontario such as the Canada Council for the Arts and the University of Ottawa.
When Lavaloon emerged, it came as a natural decision to join the founders considering the long-lasting relationship that Mohamed had with them and the bright future the company holds in addition to the core founding principles of Lavaloon which perfectly match his approach to Technology, business and more importantly ethics.
