About
Rishi Javeri
A Project Controls and Programme Governance leader who turns complex programme data into clear, defensible decisions for executive leadership.
Over more than twenty years, I have led project controls across upwards of AED 37 billion of major programmes in the UAE, GCC and India — spanning aviation, rail, infrastructure, sports, hospitality and large-scale urban development. My work sits at the intersection of time, performance, risk, change and programme governance — building the controls, standards and assurance frameworks that keep major programmes predictable and decision-ready.
Today I lead the integrated controls function on Modon's AED 21B Hudayriyat West Island Development within the EllisDon PMC, reporting to the Programme Director. Across my career the throughline has been the same: impose a clear standard, measure against it relentlessly, and surface exposure early enough to manage — whether that means lifting contractor schedule quality from a quarter to over four-fifths conformance through digital assurance, or the evidence-led work on the Riyadh City programme in Abu Dhabi, where a 291-day claim was assessed in detail to an approved 64-day determination.
