Executive Search · Middle East & GCC
Luxury executive search across the Middle East & GCC.
Board and C-suite search across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman — sovereign-backed groups, family conglomerates and private offices.
Why the Middle East and GCC
The Gulf is one of the most concentrated luxury and capital markets in the world — and one of this firm's deepest. Across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman, sovereign wealth, family conglomerates and private offices are building luxury, hospitality and lifestyle platforms at extraordinary scale.
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and its giga-projects, the UAE's position as the regional luxury hub, and Qatar's continued investment in culture and hospitality have created sustained demand for leadership that combines international calibre with genuine regional fluency.
Leadership in the Gulf demands cultural understanding, discretion and a real network — not a fly-in search run from another continent. Our founder's personal relationships across the region span 19 years of founder experience.
The appointments we lead in the GCC
CEO and Managing Director for sovereign-backed luxury and hospitality groups. Family Office and Principal Office leadership for Gulf families. Branded-residence and giga-project leadership. Retail, distribution and brand leadership for houses operating across the region.
We advise sovereign-backed investors, family conglomerates, private offices and the luxury and hospitality platforms they own — from Dubai and Abu Dhabi to Riyadh, Doha and beyond.
Dubai, Riyadh, Doha and across the Gulf
We maintain advisory relationships with Gulf-based families, sovereign-backed investors and luxury brands operating across the Middle East. For appointments specifically in the UAE, see our dedicated Dubai practice.
Headquartered in London and operating across the GCC, Europe, the United States and Asia, we bring the discretion and reach that high-consequence appointments in the region require.
The person who takes the brief is the person who presents the shortlist.
Senior mandates are led personally by Mohammed Mirza, founder of Luxury Executive. Not a delegated process — a named, accountable partner with a cross-sector network built over 19 years in luxury executive search.
