About Marc Arnecke

Hello, welcome to my website!

I am a senior manager with extensive experience in project, event, and operational leadership across complex, high-risk, and time-critical environments. My background spans major international events, large-scale infrastructure programs, and public safety operations across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.

I have held leadership and operational command roles in environments such as EXPO 2000, state visits, major international sports events, EXPO 2020 Dubai, and large multi-stakeholder programs including NEOM. My work focuses on enabling reliable real-time operations through structured governance, advanced technologies, and effective coordination between multiple agencies and stakeholders.

I specialize in the design, integration, and operation of Command & Control environments, public safety and security systems, and operational frameworks that support situational awareness, resilience, and rapid decision-making. My expertise includes the implementation of PSIM platforms, CCTV and video management systems, access control systems, and technology-enabled operational processes.

With a foundation in the Federal German Police, I bring a strong operational mindset to senior management roles, combining disciplined command structures with pragmatic project delivery. I have led teams and programs in highly dynamic, multicultural settings, ensuring systems, processes, and organizations perform reliably under pressure.

My core competencies include Command & Control operations, public safety technologies, event and infrastructure operations, incident and emergency coordination, compliance and quality management frameworks, and cross-functional leadership in mega-project environments.

 

I am open to senior leadership roles across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the wider GCC, particularly in the areas of Technology, Public Safety Systems, Command & Control, and Operational Leadership.

  • Integrity and Respect – Acting with honesty, fairness, and respect for people, cultures, and institutions.

  • Professional Commitment – Taking full responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks.

  • Dedication to Results – Focusing on delivery, reliability, and measurable impact.

  • Sound Judgement – Making clear, considered decisions under pressure.

  • Practical Innovation – Applying technology and new ideas only where they deliver real operational value.

As a PMI® member I acknowledge that honesty, responsibility, respect and fairness are the values that drive ethical conduct for the project management profession. PMI’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct applies those values to the real-life practice of project management, where the best outcome is the most ethical one.
At the bottom line ethical behavior and honesty, in my opinion, are unavoidable and are very important ingredients on the way to successful project management and shall be part of every transaction, interaction, decision or action that I take.

I enjoy being a mentor for career starters and for those who want to advance on their career ladder. Thereby I not only share my experiences, mentoring is also important and valuable to me, since I am constantly confronted with new questions and problems. I consider mentoring as a give and take, where I can always learn something new.
In addition I provide some of my project management templates, registers and documents for free download on my websites, and some of them are now used by project managers worldwide.
