Our Middle East offices

Strategy& is a leading global consulting firm, helping the world’s top businesses, governments and organizations. It brings these global resources to bear in the Middle East where it is the longest-serving management consulting firm. We have 30 regional partners and more than 500 staff of 35 different nationalities currently serving clients in most of the countries of the GCC, the Levant, and North Africa. Active in the Middle East since the 1970s, Strategy& was the first global management consulting firm to open offices in 1993 — starting with our office in Abu Dhabi, followed by Dubai, Beirut, Riyadh, Cairo, and, most recently, Doha.

It is a very exciting time to be working in the Middle East. It is an area of remarkable socioeconomic diversity and a population that is steadily growing. The region has been going through incredible change, with industries and economic systems growing rapidly from the ground up. Strategy& has worked on a number of high-profile projects in the Middle East that have had a substantial impact on the region’s development.

Strategy& consultants in the UAE combine the global perspective that comes with working in one of the world’s leading firms, with relevant local knowledge, deep functional expertise, and in-depth industry knowledge. We create and deliver essential advantage to regional players across public and private sectors. The firm’s Abu Dhabi office was the first Strategy& office to open in the Middle East in March 1993. The Dubai office followed in 1995, making our presence prominent in the two major cities of the United Arab Emirates. The Dubai office is one of the firm’s largest offices globally.

We work with leading businesses in the United Arab Emirates on concept validations, pricing strategies and organizational reviews. We build our foresight based upon powerful analytics, deep capabilities, and longstanding experience.

Since its inception in 1998, the Beirut office has grown to become one of the largest Strategy& offices worldwide. Based in the hub of this dynamic city, Strategy& consultants in the Beirut office deploy global resources to bring bold and timely foresight to clients in the region and beyond. Our client engagements in Lebanon involve financial planning and organizational restructuring to help create and deliver essential advantage. Through objective, systematic, and analytical evaluations, we perform risk assessments and implement plans for ongoing risk evaluation and management.

Beirut is also home to the leading think tank for Strategy& in the Middle East The Ideation Center: The Ideation Center provides thought leadership and offers keen insight into Middle East dynamics through research, analysis, and dialogue.

Strategy& consultants use the global resources available to them as well as their deep local knowledge in Saudi Arabia to create essential advantage and help clients build their local, regional, and global capabilities.

Our work in Saudi Arabia ranges from the development of business plans to the formulation of valuation and operating models. We have supported clients in their establishment of joint ventures and strategic alliances, thus building clients’ capabilities and expanding the scope of cooperation between regional and global firms.

The Strategy& office in Cairo was launched in September 2006. We design and execute strategic planning processes and work with both public and private entities in Egypt to analyze their capabilities in the realms of teaming, strategy planning, operations, and finance.

Our work in Qatar includes the implementation of strategy-based transformations focused on strategic planning, international investments, marketing, and business process re-design. We develop growth and operational strategies to support the capabilities and organizational development of numerous entities operating in and from the region.

The make-up of our client base continues to evolve as the firm’s presence expands both regionally and globally. With its commitment to top-quality service and investment in talented staff, Strategy& continues to bring global knowledge to the Middle East. It has earned its reputation as the management consulting firm of choice for companies and governments in the Middle East and beyond.
