Hatice Beton and Alan Donnelly combine over 50 years of experience across international politics, business diplomacy, and strategic partnerships. Their joint leadership brings together global insight, regional understanding, and proven delivery.
In light of the changing global dynamics, the Co-Founders have been working within the region for several years. Through conversations within their wide growing trusted network they identified a gap for a boutique advisory firm combined with a thought leadership platform to forge a strategic global impact bridge between public and private actors within the Gulf, MENA region and the UK and Europe.
Their shared record includes leading Sovereign Strategy in the UK and founding the G20 & G7 Health & Development Partnership — a respected initiative that continues to influence global health and finance agendas.
With the growing global footprint and strong established roots in the Gulf, the business has evolved to be able to offer strategic expertise, high-level diplomatic advice while crafting policy and investment partnerships from within the Gulf region.
