About

My Personal website: 👉🏻Www.tekhaselim.com👈🏻 As CEO of P3Global & Head of MENA Region at the International WELL Building Institute, I focus on making health, sustainability, and technology inseparable from the way cities, workplaces, and communities are built. We partner with governments, developers, and global organizations to set new standards, strategies, and technologies that transform how the built environment supports health, sustainability, & performance. Every project should improve lives and reduce planetary impact so that progress benefits both people & planet. I introduced the Global WELL Healthy Building Movement in the MENA Region and led the enrollment of 1 Billion+ sq ft of projects, turning a vision into a tangible transformation across some of the most iconic developments. The Equation: Health × Technology × Built Environment = Impact This equation reflects my belief that sustainability and wellbeing must be incorporated into every building, community, & city. Track Record & Personal Experience: • First Arab recognized by Michelle Obama’s President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, personally invited by the White House • Became the youngest university instructor at WVSU while leading global transformation projects • Global voice at the intersection of health, wellness, & technology since 2011 • Had the world’s smallest 3D sports device, Mymo Tekha, named after me by a German technology company • 3× TEDx Speaker & global keynote speaker addressing hundreds of thousands of people worldwide • Advisor to governments, C-suites, and sovereign leaders on health, tech, and sustainability strategies • Featured by regional and international media for my journey and commitment to advancing health, sustainability and wellbeing Areas of Impact: • Governments: Supporting National Strategies and policies • Businesses: creating spaces that improve health, reduce environmental impact, and deliver measurable results • Technology: Leveraging Tech & data to monitor & enhance spaces and experiences Guiding Principles • Health & sustainability as the baseline • Results must be measurable & scalable • Every project must create long-term value for people, planet, & profit My Non- Negotiable •Impact over profit (both must align) •Action over talk •Global scale as the standard •Meaningful change only Bottom Line: Every building, city, and system we design today will shape how future generations live. My role is to ensure those choices create healthier, more sustainable, & more resilient environments. This is not just my work, it is my commitment!

Tekha group

Founder/CEO Tekha Group

Jul 2011 – Present · 14 yrs 9 mos · Dubai, United Arab Emirates

  • Tekha Group was founded shortly after Tekha lost weight and saw how it had changed his life for the better in so many ways. Because he knew firsthand how difficult everyday life could be for a severely obese person, he set out to help others fight and win their battles with obesity. He did this by joining forces with other professionals — who like him — wanted to promote fitness and healthy lifestyles. Tekha Group began sponsoring seminars, clinics, workshops, athletic competitions and producing videos to motivate people to replace their bad habits with good habits. He soon realized that his mantra “Dream, Believe, Achieve” really applies to everyone with a goal – whether it is weight loss, quitting smoking, becoming a better athlete or something else. Thus, Tekha Group evolved into an organization promoting healthy physical, mental and emotional lifestyles. As Tekha travels the world as the group’s primary motivational speaker, he bravely uses his own story of pain and anguish and his transformation into a better self to help others realize their dreams.
