Al Rawahi revolutionized the energy sector with his novel approach toward the regeneration of batteries, waste reduction, and extending the life of critical power systems. With over 15 years invested in the energy industry, his foresighted management received appreciation in many ways, including a coveted slot among Forbes Middle East’s list of Inspiring Business Leaders. At Saudi Aramco, Nasser is committed to driving the future energy landscape through innovation, sustainability, and technical excellence for generations to come.
Nasser Al Rawahi founded Hexagon Battery Regeneration with a passion to disrupt the energy industry by bringing back to life batteries that would otherwise be discarded. Since incorporating Hexagon in 2014, Al Rawahi has been at the helm in defining the strategic direction of the company toward ensuring that it meets the rising global demand for alternative energy. Combining his expertise in engineering and sales with a passion for innovation, Hexagon has grown to become among the leading companies in battery regeneration-a company initiative which introduces both economic and environmental benefits to businesses and consumers alike.
It all began with a sound combination of technical and managerial education for Al Rawahi to rise to the pinnacle in the energy industry. With a BSc in Aviation Management from Emirates Aviation College, Dubai, supplemented by a Higher Diploma in Aircraft Technology/Engines and Airframe from the Higher Colleges of Technology, Abu Dhabi, Al Rawahi brought together a rare combination of engineering know-how and business acumen. Later, he earned an Executive MBA from the reputed IE Business School in Spain, further whetting his ability to lead a growing company in a very competitive industry.
Before setting up Hexagon, Al Rawahi spent upwards of 15 years working with international multinationals in the energy sector, during which he shouldered management roles, both in engineering and sales. This position and experience allowed him to develop his skills even more and understand some of the challenges and opportunities within the industry. Al Rawahi realized there was further development required to reach more sustainable solutions and he found a gap in the market regarding battery regeneration-a process which reduces waste and lengthens the life of batteries simultaneously, hence is economically feasible and friendly to the environment.
With Al Rawahi at the helm, Hexagon Battery Regeneration created a splash in quick time-not only within the UAE but beyond. It has assisted businesses in saving costs by offering maximum battery life using state-of-the-art regeneration technologies; hence, it is a very important ingredient in their energy systems. This is how Hexagon has turned out to be the fulcrum in the energy market, especially when industrialists and governments have started thinking about sustainability with environmental stewardship.
Under his leadership, Hexagon has received wide acclaim for its innovative approach and business success. In 2015, a year into founding the company, Al Rawahi was featured among Forbes Middle East’s list of Inspiring Business Leaders in the UAE, a fact that further cemented his status as one of the pioneers in energy-related businesses and the rising importance of battery regeneration both as a tool against waste and for sustainability.
Part of the reason Hexagon has been so successful has to do with Al Rawahi himself and how he views leadership: As founder, he is heavily involved in overseeing the strategic direction of the business, and the main thing he pays most attention to is how Hexagon will maintain its edge above competitors on technology and customer service. His technical background lets him make informed decisions about the company’s products and services, while his business acumen makes sure Hexagon continues to attain growth and success in a very competitive market.
As the world moves into a green future, Al Rawahi and Hexagon lead the process in proving that one doesn’t have to make a choice between innovation and sustainability. With his leadership and determination, Nasser Al Rawahi isn’t just regenerating batteries-he’s regenerating the way we think about energy and sustainability.
