Work
I help people and companies land in Saudi Arabia, and stay landed. The move is two problems at once, the life and the work, and they run on the same clock.
The work falls into three, and one team holds all of them so nothing is handed off and lost between vendors.
The household. Housing, documentation, schools, the driver, the week nobody sells to. The part that decides whether the family is still here in a year, which is the part that never appears on a relocation checklist.
The company. The licence, the premises, the first hires, the sequence of the first ninety days. Access in this market is fast and traction is slow, and the gap between them is where most foreign entries quietly stall.
The asset. Residential built and run to the standard the new Riyadh renter expects, for owners and allocators looking at the space. I spent two years filling communities here, close to a thousand households, before any of it was visible in a dataset.
I do this through Manara, the firm I run in Riyadh, with a team on the ground and licensed professionals doing the regulated work. That is where the services, the fees and the people are set out in full.
I talked through the Riyadh residential thesis, and what seventeen years here actually teaches, on the INSEAD Emerging Markets podcast, Inside Saudi Arabia. The writing works through the rest, one piece at a time.
