Background-
The middle-organization global consulting firm Oliver Wyman has named Mona Hammami as Head of its UAE operations.
Hammami brings extensive experience across the social sector and international institutions. She has advised governments and public organisations on economic development, employment, social policy and large-scale transformation programmes. Her appointment comes at a time when the firm is scaling its presence in the UAE market.
She joins Oliver Wyman from McKinsey & Company, where she served as a partner and led its Public and Social Sector practice. She has previously held senior positions at the Crown Prince Court of Abu Dhabi, Strategy&, the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia.
In her new role, Hammami will oversee the firm’s strategy, client delivery, operations and talent development across the UAE. She will also focus on expanding Oliver Wyman’s footprint in the country, where it operates offices in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Commenting on the appointment, Pedro Oliveira, Managing Partner for India, Middle East, and Africa, said the UAE remains a key growth market for the firm. He added that Hammami’s experience working with government leaders and her understanding of public and private sector dynamics make her well placed to lead the next phase of growth.
Hammami said clients are increasingly looking for partners who can combine strategy with execution to deliver measurable results. She noted that the firm’s expertise and approach position it well to support the UAE’s long-term priorities.
The leadership change follows another recent move at Oliver Wyman, with Ted Moynihan appointed as CEO, succeeding Nick Studer, who has taken on a new role at Marsh.
