Sama Abri2026 Finalist

Director of Capital Projects and Infrastructure at MNBC

MNBC

Sama has a reputation for work that’s not only accurate and well-researched, but delivered with a level of polish that often exceeds expectations—without slowing the pace. Colleagues say she consistently spots issues early in planning, documentation, or execution, and quietly resolves them before they turn into bigger problems. That mix of foresight and follow-through saves time, reduces rework, and keeps projects moving. What really sets Sama apart is how easily she bridges worlds. She can hold the big picture in her head—strategy, priorities, risk—while still tracking the operational details that make or break delivery. Multiple voters highlighted her calm under pressure and her emotional intelligence—reading the room, navigating tension points, and keeping relationships strong even in high-stress moments. Others pointed to her natural leadership: she mentors newer team members, supports colleagues without being asked, and raises the standard for everyone around her. 

What voters said
