— Gulf coverage / Dammam

Executive search in Dammam and the Eastern Province.

Retained, partner-led executive search for the Kingdom's industrial and energy heartland: leadership across Dammam, Dhahran, Khobar and Jubail, and the wider Eastern Province.

— The market

Leadership demand in Dammam.

The Eastern Province is the industrial and energy core of Saudi Arabia. The economy anchored by Saudi Aramco, the petrochemical complex at Jubail, and the ports and logistics corridors along the Gulf coast together make Dammam, Dhahran and Khobar a distinct leadership market from Riyadh, with its own operator profile.

The leadership this market needs has run heavy industry, energy transition and complex logistics at scale. It is a smaller pool than the capital's, and a more specialised one, which is why sourcing it well means reaching beyond the region into the global operator markets.

— The mandates

The mandates we run in the Eastern Province.

Chief executives and chief operating officers for industrial and petrochemical platforms, project and capital-programme directors for the region's build-out, chief sustainability officers for the energy-transition agenda, and the ports, aviation and supply-chain leadership the Gulf logistics corridor requires.

— How we work

How an Eastern Province mandate runs.

Partner-led, retained and confidential. We calibrate the brief to the operating reality of heavy industry and energy, where delivery accountability and regulator-heavy environments define the profile more than sector labels do.

Most Eastern Province mandates are cross-border by design, drawing operators from the global energy, petrochemical and infrastructure markets, and assessing them for the fit the Kingdom's ownership models require.
