KBR adds Rami Qasem to its board of directors

KBR (NYSE: KBR) appointed Rami Qasem to its board of directors, effective October 1, 2026, according to a company statement.

Qasem, 59, has held senior roles across the energy, technology, and industrial sectors.

From 2023 to 2025, he was Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of BeyondAI, and in 2023 he also served as Chief Operations Officer of COP28 UAE.

Before those positions, Qasem served as Executive Vice President and CEO of Digital Solutions at Baker Hughes from 2017 to 2023, a role he transitioned into following the merger of GE Oil & Gas and Baker Hughes. Prior to that, he spent 21 years at General Electric, where he rose to President and CEO for the MENA & Turkey region.
