Andersen Consulting adds Reach Consulting to Middle East network

Andersen Consulting has strengthened its capabilities in the Middle East through a collaboration agreement with Reach Consulting, a digital transformation and advisory firm headquartered in the UAE.

Reach Consulting supports organizations in the Gulf with services including digital transformation, internal audit, organizational consulting, and risk. The firm has a presence across the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and Jordan, serving both public and private sector clients.

Andersen Consulting, meanwhile, is one of the world’s largest consulting groups. Re-launched at the start of 2025, the company currently has more than 4,000 professionals and a presence in over 65 countries. By 2028, Andersen Consulting aims to join the consulting industry’s illustrious $1 billion club.

“Transformation works best when local insight, cross-functional expertise, and practical execution come together,” said Suhail Shaker, managing director of Reach Consulting. “By collaborating with Andersen Consulting, we combine our regional presence with Andersen Consulting’s global platform, enabling clients to navigate complex change, optimize operations, and unlock sustainable growth.”

The move sees Reach Consulting join a growing list of member and collaborating firms in the Middle East, including iNNOVATEQ, Hilal Technology, VaporVM, Ventures and Sidat Hyder.

“Reach Consulting’s expertise enhances our ability to deliver integrated advisory, digital, and operational solutions,” said Mark Vorsatz, global chairman and CEO of Andersen. “Their service offerings complement our organization’s capabilities, allowing us to support clients more effectively through complex change.”
