About

Dalia Al Sayeh joined Honeywell in 2013 as general counsel for the Middle East after a private practice career undertaken at leading US firms in New York and the UAE. In December 2018 her role was expanded to include deputy general counsel for Europe, Middle East and Africa in addition to her role as Middle East general counsel. Al Sayeh assumes a broad range of responsibilities providing hands-on operational and strategic advice across the diverse industries in which Honeywell operates. She enjoys a wide-ranging practice which has seen her extend beyond traditional legal topics to take on wider company initiatives such as improving working capital, though her most satisfying challenges have been in dispute resolution and managing reputational risk. She recalls successfully negotiating a settlement for a high-profile dispute in which the defendant launched a very aggressive and non-orthodox defence strategy as a particularly rewarding chapter of her Honeywell career: ‘The particular dispute provided a unique learning experience on effective dispute resolution strategies and creating a common ground to allow for a negotiated resolution’. Alongside this, Al Sayeh is a valued and trusted business advisor and a go-to-mind on a broad range of matters. She has also proved her adaptability by taking on an assignment leading a strategic marketing project for Honeywell’s aerospace business in the ME region.
