Your Business Has the Ambition.
We Build the Internal Engine to Get It There.
Expand Strategies partners with large enterprises, family conglomerates, and growth-stage companies across the MENA region and beyond to build two critical internal capabilities: strategic business development teams and internal management consulting academies.
Our main benefits
The problems we solve
Most companies growing fast hit the same ceiling.
They rely on external consultants for strategy. They outsource business development. They send staff to generic training programs that fade within weeks.
The result? Dependency. Knowledge that walks out the door. Teams that execute tasks but don't think strategically.
We fix this — permanently.
What we do
Pillar 1: Build Your Internal Business Development Engine
We assess, recruit, train, and continuously develop your strategic business development team — the people responsible for opening new markets, landing the right B2B partnerships, and driving sustainable revenue growth. Not a one-time training. A living, monitored function embedded inside your organization.
Pillar 2: Build Your Internal Management Consulting Academy
We create a custom internal training academy that transforms your senior managers into certified-level strategic thinkers. Your team learns to assess, plan, execute, and monitor — with the rigor of a Certified Management Consultant. The capability stays inside your business forever.
Why Expand Strategies
25+ years of CMC-certified expertise across 16 countries
Led by Jade W. Dagher, CMC® — Professional Development Chair at CMC-GI, one of the most senior certified management consultants in the MENA region
Over 100 CEOs engaged across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Lebanon, Cyprus, and beyond
Not a training company. Not a consulting firm. A capability builder — embedded, accountable, results-driven
Every engagement is anchored to measurable business outcomes, not deliverable reports
Who we work with
We work best with organizations that are past the startup phase and ready to scale seriously — large enterprises, family conglomerates managing multi-generational transitions, and regional businesses expanding into new geographies.
Our primary markets: Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Nicosia, Limassol — with an expanding presence in the USA, Canada, Australia, France, and Singapore.
Our engagement model
Phase 1 — Executive Alignment: We meet your leadership team, define the exact scope, success metrics, and timeline. No ambiguity. No generic proposals.
Phase 2 — Diagnostic Deep-Dive: We assess your current capabilities across 13 dimensions including: workflow, financial health, human capital gaps, sales performance, market positioning, and competitive landscape.
Phase 3 — Bespoke Deployment We build and deploy the solution — whether that's a business development team, an internal academy, a strategic plan, or all three. We stay embedded until the function runs independently.
