Dubai – Leading global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) has strengthened its Strategy & Performance Improvement practice in the Middle East to meet companies’ growing demand for transformation advisory services. In line with this objective, A&M has appointed Sabimir Sabev as a Managing Director to lead its Operating Model Transformation services, the firm’s integrated specialty that helps companies maximise value by transforming their business model.

“Even prior to the pandemic, the rapidly changing economic fundamentals of the region necessitated the need for adopting change. This need has been further amplified by disruptions caused by COVID-19,” says Dr. Saeeda Jaffar, Managing Director and Head of A&M Middle East. “While many companies have embarked on transforming their operating models, performance remains uneven. A&M’s Operating Model Transformation services aims to help companies optimize their business, especially during turbulent economic times.”

Mr. Sabev specializes in all phases of strategy development, operating model design and implementation, front and back office performance improvement, mergers and acquisitions, divestiture, and corporate restructuring. During his more than 25 years of industry and management consulting experience, Mr. Sabev has worked for or advised international clients in oil and gas, consumer electronics, healthcare, industrials, mining, telecoms and financial services industries in the Middle East, Europe, and North America.

Dr. Jaffar says, “The expansion of A&M’s senior leadership and our services in the GCC reflects our commitment to the region and to helping clients maximise value with leadership, action, and results-driven strategies. Sabimir’s experience and track record will provide clients the solutions they need to address short-term challenges and transform for long-term sustainable growth.”
