As infrastructure demands grow across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, so too does the complexity of delivering them. From transport and utilities to large-scale urban development, the sector must respond not only to technical challenges but also to regional variation in policy, regulation, skills, and economic conditions.

Digital tools and smarter processes are central to addressing this complexity, helping organisations plan more effectively, operate more sustainably, and build with greater precision. Yet transformation at this scale also depends on something less tangible: the ability to adapt ways of working, develop new capabilities, and navigate the gaps between vision and implementation.

With this in mind, let’s chat to someone who is leading the charge on this.

Nathan Marsh is the Regional Executive for EMEA at Bentley Systems. As the senior leader in the region, he is responsible for the strategy, growth, and success of the EMEA business. He has over 20 years of leadership roles within management consultancy, risk advisory, private equity and corporate finance, engineering, and construction businesses, all focused on the funding, design, delivery, and operation of complex and critical national infrastructure.

Prior to joining Bentley, Nathan served as Chief Digital Officer for FTSE and SEC listed construction businesses, leading the deployment of digital solutions into major infrastructure programmes to create value, reduce risk and improve performance.

Nathan has also served as a British army officer, played professional rugby and is privileged to represent industry on a range of expert panels, advisory boards and committees.
