The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has appointed Romnish Kapoor as Regional Sales Manager for MENA, strengthening its presence across the Middle East and North Africa as it continues to promote fire, electrical and life safety throughout the region.
Based in Dubai, Kapoor will lead its business development efforts across MENA, expanding customer relationships and supporting organisations seeking to improve fire and life safety through the association’s internationally recognised codes and standards, training, certifications and related solutions.
The appointment reflects NFPA’s continued investment in the region, where rapid infrastructure growth and increasing regulatory focus are driving demand for fire and life safety expertise.
Mike Brunzell, Vice President of Global Business Development, said: “The Middle East and North Africa remain a strategic priority for NFPA, and we are pleased to welcome Romnish to our regional team.
“His extensive experience working with customers, regulators and industry leaders across the region will help us continue delivering the knowledge, resources and solutions that support safer communities and resilient built environments.”
Kapoor brings more than 20 years of experience in fire and life safety, testing, inspection and certification, regulatory compliance, strategic account management and business development.
Before joining, he held a series of commercial leadership positions with UL Solutions, where he led regional sales and strategic account growth initiatives across the Middle East and Africa. Throughout his career, he has worked closely with manufacturers, contractors, government authorities, regulatory agencies, developers, consultants and other industry stakeholders to advance safety, compliance and market development across emerging markets.
Kapoor said: “I’m excited to join NFPA at a time of tremendous opportunity across the MENA region.
“Governments, regulators and businesses continue to place greater emphasis on fire and life safety, and I look forward to working with our existing and new customers to help them advance their efforts with the world-class resources and solutions that NFPA has to offer.”
NFPA has worked across the Middle East and North Africa for decades, supporting governments and industry through its codes and standards, training and certification programmes, research and public education initiatives aimed at improving fire and life safety and helping to prevent fire-related loss.
