Roland Berger has appointed Nizar Hneini as senior partner and country leader for Qatar, one of the firm’s key markets in the region.
Bringing over two decades of rich experience in the consulting industry, Nizar Hneini has been tasked with driving significant growth for the strategic consultancy in the Qatari market. Roland Berger launched its Qatar office in 2011.
“Our Qatar office is pivotal to our strategy in the Middle East,”

His professional journey has spanned multiple continents, including extensive work in the Middle East, Europe, the US, and Africa.
Working with clients, he played a key role in developing new strategies, spearheading critical transformational programs, delivering large-scale change, and driving (digital) innovation.
Internally, Hneini has built and nurtured senior client relationships, formed and led diverse teams, helped setup new operations and scale practices, and spearheaded growth in green and brownfield areas. A highly-skilled relationship builder, his proactive role in business development have marked him as a leader in the region’s consulting industry.
“I am committed to leveraging my experience and the strengths of our global resources to deliver customized best-in-class solutions and exceptional value to our clients,”
said Hneini.
“This role presents an incredible opportunity to contribute to Roland Berger’s growth in Qatar and the region and to deepen our impact within this dynamic market.”
Hneini added that Qatar’s strategic importance in the region offers “vast opportunities” for transformation and growth.
“I am excited to lead our talented team in the Qatar office to drive our strategic initiatives forward and achieve new heights of success.”
