M.C. Dean mourns the loss of Shah Ali, former director of electrical commissioning, whose legacy continues to shape our company and the industry.
Shah joined M.C. Dean during a pivotal period of growth, helping to establish and lead our electrical commissioning program—now a cornerstone of our technical differentiation in power systems and modular delivery. His work was instrumental in some of the most complex projects in our history, including the Pentagon’s power systems upgrade, where his leadership ensured mission continuity during a high-stakes transformation.
Known for his humility, brilliance, and mentorship, Shah was a quiet force who led by example. He earned the trust of customers, partners, and colleagues alike, and his influence extended far beyond the technical. He was a devoted family man, a loyal friend, and a builder of people, systems, and trust.
We invite you to read the full remembrance, which includes reflections from those who knew him best.
