MESA was founded in 2002 after recognising that rapid progress in the Middle East had generated a need for advisors with international expertise who were based locally and could remain in constant touch with local market developments.
It now operates across the GCC and Middle East region with over 30 permanently based professionals and offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Muscat.
The company’s core competencies reflect the priorities of world-class senior management in terms of setting strategy, managing change and delivering growth. This is why the capabilities of MESA are centered into three key areas: strategy consulting, change management and investment advisory.
As a OC&C Strategy Consultants member-firm, it can also bring international industry-specific resources to the Middle East, enabling the company to create even greater added value for its clients.
OC&C is a leading international consulting firm that focuses on delivering sustainable growth strategies for many of the world’s largest and most successful companies.
MESA is a management consulting firm which concentrates its efforts in the Middle East, combining Consulting, Change Management and Invest-ment Advisory services to provide measurable results for its clients.
In association with its global partner OC&C Strategy Consultants, MESA is a combination of the unique experiences of each of its team members. Together, they form the extensive expertise and knowledge base of the company.
MESA was established on the principle that management consultants should create measurable value for its clients by implementing recommendations together with the respective client teams.
