Roy Nouhra walks with one foot in the world of innovation and the other in the world of stillness.
For more than 30 years, he has built globally recognized companies that operate at the frontier of marine, defense, and advanced materials. From engineering high-performance boats that save lives at sea, to pioneering carbon fiber solutions for aerospace, and developing cutting-edge drone defense systems—every venture he leads is rooted in a single, unshakable purpose:
to serve, to protect the protectors, and above all, to save lives.
Yet Roy’s vision has never been limited to what can be built, measured, or sold.
Away from the demands of the boardroom, he has spent weeks in silence—meditating beneath ancient trees and in remote caves where time seems to dissolve. He has sought the wisdom of masters and remote hermits, learning directly from those who live in the purest presence. These encounters, along with his own solitary retreats in nature, have shaped his understanding that stillness is not an escape from the world—it is the foundation for clear and purposeful action within it.
For Roy, there is no separation between the leader and the seeker. The discipline that drives a global enterprise is the same that allows him to sit in silence for days. The clarity that comes from stillness is the same clarity that guides decisive action in moments of challenge. And at the heart of it all, Roy believes that giving love unconditionally is the way—the true measure of any life’s work.
“In the end, we do not carry what we’ve earned—but who we’ve become.”
Today, Roy mentors entrepreneurs, speaks at global leadership forums, and supports causes rooted in education, compassion, and inner peace. His life is a living example that one can build with precision, lead with vision, and live with a heart unbound—proving that success is not only measured by what you achieve, but by what you give.
