Award: Young Middle East FM of the year
Winner: Naganandh Muthulakshmanan, Emaar Properties
In this category, the judges noted that all shortlisted candidates had made a positive contribution to their companies, but it was Naganandh Muthulakshmanan who stood out as the winner for his ability to demonstrate a positive attitude toward service while keeping costs at an optimal level.
“Nag has taken over Dubai Marina since May 2009. He has done wonders with the communities in terms of technical resolutions, cost savings, budgeting and getting the service providers to deliver results. I’m pleased with his performance and wish to give him further responsibilities in the future,” commented Emaar Community management senior director Jeevan D’Mello.
Muthulakshmanan has been working at Emaar for 17 months and, within the first five months of his employment, he achieved a cost saving of US $299,470 (AED1.1 million) to the Dubai Marina through reallocation of utility charges and implementation of cost and energy saving measures.

Last year, he also assisted the contracts team to negotiate a reduction of $454,650 with service providers. In his nomination, his employer highly recommended him for this year’s FmME award: “His ability to motivate his team has resulted in a significant increase in productivity.
All these efforts paved the way for lower service fees in 2010 for all communities in Dubai Marina (when compared to 2009). Simply put – he is passionately committed to exploring anything and everything that helps to operate the communities in the best way possible at the lowest cost.”
WINNER: comment
I’m excited. It’s been such a good year so far for the company and things are really moving in the right direction. It’s really nice that our work has been recognised.
