HR Consultancy, Executive Coaching, Leadership Speaking
Leadership that holds up in the boardroom and on the company floor.
I'm Dr. Mostafa Ghanima. For 18 years I've built HR and organisational systems for groups across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and the UK. Now I help leaders and organisations do the same: design structures that work, reward people fairly, and grow leaders who can carry the strategy.
Delivered in English and Arabic across 11 MENA markets.

TWO WAYS I WORK
For organisations: HR Consultancy
You have a strategy. The question is whether your structure, your pay system and your people can deliver it. I work with executive teams to close that gap, drawing on years of leading group-wide OD and total rewards work in regulated, multi-site environments.
For leaders: Coaching, Training & Speaking
Titles give authority. Influence has to be earned. I help executives and emerging leaders build that influence through coaching, programmes and keynotes grounded in real practice and in the values of the region they lead in.
HR CONSULTANCY SERVICES
Organisation Design & Operating Models
Structures, spans and layers built around how work actually flows, so decisions stop bottlenecking at the top and accountability is clear at every level.
Strategic Workforce Planning
Demand and supply models that tie headcount to growth plans, productivity targets and Saudisation (Nitaqat) requirements. Especially relevant for healthcare groups scaling new facilities.
Total Rewards & Compensation Architecture
Job evaluation, grading structures, salary bands, allowances and incentive design that are defensible, market-aligned and compliant with Saudi labour law. Built by a Korn Ferry (Hay) certified evaluator.
HR Transformation
Diagnosing where the HR function stands today and building the roadmap, policies and operating model to move it from administration to business partnership.
Culture & Organisational Development
Culture diagnostics, change programmes and leadership alignment for organisations going through growth, integration or transformation under Vision 2030.
Performance Management
Goal-setting frameworks, KPI design, calibration and pay-for-performance links for organisations that want strategy reflected in how every role is measured and rewarded.
Healthcare Sector Specialisation
Much of my career has been inside hospital groups. I understand clinical and non-clinical workforce realities, SCFHS licensing, and the pressures of opening and scaling facilities.
LEADERSHIP SERVICES
Executive Coaching (1:1)
Confidential coaching for C-suite and senior leaders working on executive presence, strategic thinking, difficult transitions, or leading through change.
Leadership Training & Academies
Programmes for teams and leadership pipelines that combine proven frameworks, current research and practical tools leaders use the following Monday.
Keynote Speaking
Talks for conferences, leadership summits and corporate events on leadership, HR transformation and values-based organisations. Previous stages include the 100 CHRO Conference and the HR Tech MENA Summit in Dubai.
ABOUT
Most leadership advice is written for somewhere else. Mine is built here.
Dr. Mostafa Ghanima has spent more than 20 years in HR and organisational development across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the UK, in healthcare, industrial, construction, retail and holding groups. He has led OD, workforce planning and Total Rewards at the group level and today serves as Group OD Director at Healthcare Group in KSA.
That operating experience shapes everything he teaches. His coaching and programmes don't stop at theory; they come from having redesigned structures, rebuilt pay systems and sat in the leadership meetings where those decisions are made.
He holds a PhD in HR Leadership & Business Strategy and an MBA in Human Resources and completed executive programmes at Wharton, where he became the first Egyptian to graduate with honours, and at Cornell. He is a certified member of the Maxwell Leadership Team and lectures at the International Business Academy of Switzerland.
His work brings together global leadership practice and Islamic values: integrity, consultation (Shura), stewardship and trust. He believes ethical leadership and commercial performance support each other, and he helps leaders prove it. This is the theme of his upcoming book, HR Leadership Can Take You to Paradise.
WHY WORK WITH ME
Practitioner, not only advisor. I've implemented what I recommend, inside real organisations with real constraints.
Regional depth. I know GCC labour frameworks, Saudisation, healthcare regulation and the relationship-first way decisions get made here.
One partner for systems and people. Most firms fix structures or develop leaders. I do both, so the two don't pull against each other.
Bilingual delivery. Every engagement, programme and keynote is available in English or Arabic.
WHERE I WORK
Saudi Arabia · UAE · Kuwait · Qatar · Bahrain · Oman · Jordan · Lebanon · Egypt · Tunisia · Morocco
Based in Jeddah. Available in person across the region and virtually worldwide.
What would change if your structure, your rewards and your leaders were all pointed in the same direction?
Let's talk about where your organisation is and where it needs to go.
