Executive Search in MENA

C-level and senior leadership search for companies

operating and scaling across the MENA region.


We identify and appoint executives for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, taking into account business context, cultural dynamics, and regional decision-making logic.

Why executive search in MENA requires dedicated expertise
MENA is a market where:
  • decisions are driven by trust and reputation
  • formal résumés rarely reflect true leadership capability
  • roles are often shaped around specific business challenges
  • mistakes in C-level hiring are particularly costly
As a result, Executive Search models that work in Europe or the US do not translate directly to the MENA context.
Our executive search approach in MENA
We work with leadership challenges,
not job descriptions.
  • We immerse ourselves in the business strategy and shareholder context
  • We define leadership profiles aligned with regional specifics
  • We search for candidates with relevant MENA experience and a global mindset
  • We assess not only competencies, but also leadership and cultural fit
