Bahrain Marine Development Company has named Gagan Suri as the new Chief Executive Officer, effective from April 1st, 2026.
BDMC, the master developer behind the Bahrain Marina, announced the appointment of Suri on the heels of the waterfront project’s operational launch.
Suri has resided in the Kingdom of Bahrain for over a decade and has served as CEO of Bahrain Bay Development. The India-born-and-raised executive first moved to the United States to pursue his undergraduate degree before switching careers from hospitality to finance. With stints in Canada and the United Kindom, Suri’s most recent tenure as Executive Director and Head of Development at Oxagon follows 25 years of experience in large-scale urban development, infrastructure delivery, and real estate investment across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.
