Partner, Commercial Strategy & Platform Development

Sand Rose | Advisory is a Riyadh-based professional services firm supporting complex program delivery across strategy, commercial structuring, procurement, governance, PMO, digital control, and delivery enablement. We work with sovereign entities, giga-projects, infrastructure programs, and large-scale operating environments where compressed timelines, fragmented stakeholders, commercial ambiguity, and weak control structures create execution risk. Our role is to establish the control layer between strategy and delivery — helping leadership create the governance structures, procurement frameworks, reporting systems, commercial visibility, and operational disciplines required before delivery complexity compounds. The firm combines advisory capability with practical operator experience across sovereign programs, giga-projects, infrastructure, real estate, transformation initiatives, and regulated environments across Saudi Arabia and the GCC. Core capabilities include: • Strategy & Commercialisation • RFP, Tendering & Award Management • Program & PMO Services • Governance, Integrity & Resilience • Digital Program Control & Systems • Worker Welfare & Compliance Systems Sand Rose principals and senior advisors bring direct experience across major Saudi and regional programs, including sovereign and giga-project environments involving procurement governance, commercial structuring, PMO oversight, delivery controls, reporting systems, and transformation initiatives. We operate through senior-led engagement models with Riyadh-based leadership, embedded delivery capability, and rapid mobilization aligned to high-stakes program environments. Programs do not fail at delivery. They fail at control.
