Frequently asked questions
Who runs strategic and product decisions at WakeCap?
Dr. Hassan Albalawi is Founder and CEO. Ishita Kochhar, Co-founder and COO, oversees operations. The executive team includes Di-Ann Eisnor as President, Daniel Pifko as Chief Product Officer, and Gene Gutnik as Chief Technology Officer — combining construction-engineering roots with experience scaling technology platforms.
How does WakeCap's sensor network function differently from conventional GPS-based workforce tracking?
WakeCap uses a self-forming mesh of anchors and sensor-equipped wearables that communicate locally without GPS, Wi-Fi, or cabling. This lets the system operate inside steel-framed structures and deep excavations where satellite signals fail. The network captures location, activity, and proximity data that feeds live dashboards and historic productivity analytics.
Which major projects has WakeCap publicly confirmed?
WakeCap's website cites deployments on NEOM's Oxagon site, Saudi Aramco's Jafurah development, Qiddiya, the Uptown Tower in Dubai (with Besix Group), and Jubail Island in Abu Dhabi (with Arabian Construction Co.). Collectively these represent some of the largest construction undertakings in the Middle East.
Is WakeCap a construction company or a technology firm?
WakeCap is a technology company that sells a sensor-powered project-controls system to construction operators and project owners. It does not perform general contracting or construction management; rather, its hardware and software layer provides workforce visibility, safety monitoring, and productivity data to the teams that do.
What type of portfolio or investment vehicle does WakeCap operate, if any?
WakeCap has not disclosed an investment portfolio, fund structure, or outside capital pool. It functions as an operating technology company serving construction enterprises. Any characterization as an asset manager or family office does not match its publicly described business model — the firm sells a physical technology product to project sites.
