Coral welcomes Mohammed AlNakhi to its Board of Advisors

We’re glad to share that Mohammed AlNakhi has joined Coral’s Board of Advisors as Strategic Advisor, Energy & Net Zero.

Mohammed knows the energy transition from the inside. With over two decades at bp, from hydrogen business development to his current role leading JV strategy and risk, and through Catalyst he’s spent years backing and mentoring cleantech startups across the region. He understands the GCC market, the gap between reporting on sustainability and actually doing something about it. That’s the gap Coral was built to close.

As an advisor, Mohammed will work closely with our team on strategy, market positioning, and how we show up across the region. We’re not bringing him in for a title on a slide. We want his honest read on where we’re strong, where we’re not, and what it really takes to earn the trust of the companies we serve.

Why this matters to us

Having Mohammed in our corner makes us better at the thing we care about most: helping companies turn messy emissions data into decisions they can act on. He’s seen sustainability play out at scale, so he’ll push us to focus on what genuinely moves the needle rather than what looks good in a report. His roots in the regional energy and cleantech world keep us close to the market we serve. And his instinct for what earns credibility with enterprise buyers will sharpen how we go to market.

Our goal hasn’t changed. We want to be the platform GCC companies trust to measure their emissions and act on them with confidence. People like Mohammed are how we get there faster.

A note from Mohammed AlNakhi

“What attracted me to Coral is its focus on turning emissions data into practical business decisions. Many companies today are making progress in measuring and reporting emissions, but the real challenge is converting that information into action that supports operational, commercial, and sustainability objectives. Coral’s AI-native approach, combined with a strong understanding of the GCC market, positions the company to help bridge that gap. I am excited to support the team as they scale and help organizations across the region build confidence in their emissions management journey.” says Mohammed AlNakhi, Advisor at Coral.

A note from our founder

“Coral exists to close the gap between companies reporting on their emissions and actually acting on them. Mohammed has lived on both sides of that gap, from over two decades at bp working on hydrogen and net zero to mentoring climate tech founders across the region. He’ll keep us honest about what genuinely helps our clients versus what just looks good on paper. That’s exactly the kind of advisor we wanted. And a real thank you to the Catalyst team, whose partnership made this introduction possible.” says Daniele Sileri, CEO and founder of Coral.

Welcome, Mohammed!
