About Us

No one does what we do, quite like us.

We’re not just a consultancy – we’re one of the first to make a massive difference. At ThriveWize, we’re in a league of our own, blending wisdom, insights, experience, and commitment to help you thrive in a way that’s uniquely ours.

ThriveWize was established to address a critical need: providing comprehensive, end-to-end consultancy services for companies aiming to leverage the significant opportunities within the Middle East’s energy sector. Navigating the region’s cultural nuances, regulatory frameworks, and business practices can be challenging, but the rewards are substantial—rising demand for energy products, modernization initiatives, and increasing investment in value-added oil derivatives create significant opportunities for new entrants.

At ThriveWize, we simplify the complexities of market entry, offering tailored strategies for company setup, vendor approvals, and business expansion. With over 20 years of experience, we equip you with the insights, connections, and strategic direction to seize these opportunities and drive sustained growth.

We don’t come with one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we start by listening—really—listening to your needs, challenges, and ambitions.

Founders Message

Welcome to ThriveWize, From a young age, I’ve been driven by an insatiable curiosity, always asking “why?” and “how?”. This inquisitive spirit has guided me through two decades in the Middle East’s energy sector, where I’ve honed the art of transforming knowledge into tangible success. In founding ThriveWize, my goal wasn’t just to create another consultancy. I envisioned a strategic partnership that seamlessly bridges cultural and operational divides. Our mission is clear: we’re here to empower your business not just to enter the Middle Eastern market, but to truly flourish in its dynamic landscape.

My extensive experience in the Middle East has given me unique insights into the region’s business culture, operational challenges, and immense opportunities. The energy industry here, in particular, holds vast potential for growth and innovation. With the right guidance, your business can tap into this potential and achieve remarkable success. At ThriveWize, customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do. We’re committed to providing you with tailored solutions that not only meet but exceed your expectations. Our success is measured by your success, and we’re dedicated to supporting you every step of the way.

My journey extends beyond consultancy. As an entrepreneur and author of “Retire Rich: Planning for Financial Independence in the Middle Class”, I’ve explored various facets of business and finance. I’m excited to share that my upcoming book, “Gold in the Gulf: Mastering Business Growth in the Middle East”, will serve as a comprehensive guide for those looking to navigate and succeed in this vibrant region. At ThriveWize, we see every challenge as an opportunity, and every opportunity as a stepping stone towards sustainable success. I invite you to leverage our deep understanding of the Middle East market, particularly in the energy sector, to unlock your business’s full potential in this thriving region.

Let’s embark on this journey of growth and discovery together. With ThriveWize, you’re not just entering a new market – you’re positioning yourself to thrive in it.
