Palladium has been named one of the top consulting firms in the region by Consultancy Middle East in their annual rankings, which evaluate firms across various categories based on expertise and client feedback. The rankings reflect Palladium’s growing reputation as a leader in delivering transformational development and consulting services in the Middle East.

"Over 1,000 consulting firms working across every conceivable industry and area of specialisation were assessed for the Middle East ranking," states a release from Consultancy.org, "from the world’s best-known brands to international and regional powerhouses, and national leaders to boutiques and niche players."

The rankings place Palladium as a standout in areas such as management consulting and strategy, where the company is noted for its strong track record in helping governments, NGOs, and private-sector clients achieve ambitious goals. Palladium’s commitment to fostering inclusive growth, sustainability, and innovation has made it a trusted partner for clients in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and beyond.

Abdullah Alnabhan, Palladium Managing Partner for the Middle East, points to client relationships as a key driver of success. “What makes me proudest is knowing that these results are based on feedback from our clients,” he says. “We’ve grown our GCC business three-fold over the last five years, and keeping that momentum is something we’re always thinking about. None of that would be possible without our clients.”

Palladium has been ranked at the Diamond level for Non-Profit sector work, Platinum for ESG, Project Management, and Agriculture, and Gold for Management, Government, Sustainability, and Education.

The annual rankings by Consultancy Middle East, part of the Consultancy.org family, evaluate firms based on a comprehensive methodology that includes client satisfaction, project impact, and overall market presence. “This isn’t our first ranking,” notes Alnabhan, “but as we’ve grown in size and impact, we’re seeing success in more categories every year.”

Palladium’s achievements come amid the rapid transformation of the GCC economies, particularly in sectors such as energy, infrastructure, and public services. The company has played a key role in supporting regional governments and organisations, including by implementing strategic initiatives aligned with national visions, such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

The recognition reinforces Palladium’s status as a trusted advisor in a competitive market and highlights its ability to deliver tailored solutions that address the unique challenges and opportunities in the region.

“We’re going to continue to expand,” says Alnabhan, “thanks to our client relationships and to our ability to deliver results that drive economic and social impact.”
