Barot Brennan & Downes was founded by three operators from different disciplines: strategy, innovation and transformation. They came together with a shared belief that most consulting in the Middle East delivers very little. It is bloated, outdated and often disconnected from outcomes.

Advice is common. Execution is rare.

They built a boutique consultancy designed for real impact. One that combines strategic thinking with practical delivery. The goal is simple: to help founders and leadership teams achieve meaningful transformation across the Middle East.
