Oliver Wyman, a global leader in management consulting and a business of Marsh McLennan, has appointed Mr Abdulelah AlBarrak as the new office leader for Riyadh.
In this role, he will drive overall office strategy, including growth and talent development, to propel Oliver Wyman's expansion in Riyadh while also engaging in initiatives that foster economic growth throughout Saudi Arabia.
A seasoned consultant and entrepreneur, Mr AlBarrak brings extensive experience in economic development, sectoral restructuring, and digital transformation.
Mr AlBarrak assumes the baton from Mr Seif Sammakieh. After a five-year tenure, Mr Sammakieh will continue to focus on transformative work across an expanded mandate in his capacity as a partner in the Government and Institutions Practice.
As Saudi Arabia’s consulting market matures and the Kingdom looks to enhance its workforce capabilities across all industries, Oliver Wyman continues to invest in Saudi talent development.
Mr AlBarrak takes on this role as Oliver Wyman expands its presence in Riyadh, following the launch of its flagship office in King Abdullah Financial District in 2024.
