Our Latest Expansion; We're Now in the UAE!

Fractional Execs is excited to announce the official launch of Fractional Execs UAE, expanding our global footprint into one of the most dynamic and fast-evolving business regions in the world. With this strategic move, we’re bringing our flexible, outcomes-driven executive leadership model to support the ambitious companies driving innovation across the UAE and the broader GCC.

The United Arab Emirates continues to establish itself as a global hub for entrepreneurship, tech-driven transformation, and cross-border investment. From Dubai’s thriving start-up scene to Abu Dhabi’s bold vision for future industries, the UAE represents a powerful convergence of capital, creativity, and ambition. Yet, as with many rapidly growing ecosystems, businesses here often face the same challenge: how to scale with the right leadership in place—without the long lead times and high overhead of traditional hiring.

That’s where Fractional Execs comes in; our model enables businesses to access senior-level talent—C-suite executives with deep domain expertise—on a part-time, interim, or project-specific basis. These are leaders who have scaled businesses, navigated market complexities, driven transformation, and delivered results. Whether it's accelerating growth, preparing for funding, restructuring operations, embracing new AI technologies or launching new markets, our executives step in quickly and integrate seamlessly to lead from within.

“High-calibre leadership shouldn’t be a bottleneck to growth,” said Alan Giles, CEO and Founder of Fractional Execs. “With the launch of Fractional Execs UAE, we’re building on our mission to make elite executive expertise more accessible and aligned to today’s agile business needs. The UAE is a natural fit for our model—a region where speed, innovation, and global ambition are deeply embedded in the business culture.”

At the helm of Fractional Execs UAE is Matthew Graham, a seasoned executive with extensive experience in scaling high-growth companies across emerging markets. With a strong track record of navigating both the strategic and operational challenges that define the region, Matthew brings a sharp understanding of what businesses in the UAE truly need to succeed.

“The UAE is unmatched in its energy, diversity, and ambition,” said Graham. “But as companies move fast, many find themselves needing executive firepower that can keep up—leaders who can hit the ground running, deliver immediate value, and do so without adding unnecessary structure or cost. That’s exactly the value proposition we’re offering with Fractional Execs UAE.”

What makes us different is how we work. Our executives don’t sit on the sidelines; they embed fully into the companies they support—working side by side with founders and teams to shape strategy, lead execution, and build lasting capabilities. This isn’t traditional consulting. This is embedded leadership built for the realities of modern business.

As we launch in the UAE, our mission is clear: to become a trusted partner for founders, executive teams, family offices, and boards looking to scale with confidence, clarity, and speed. In a region that rewards vision and bold execution, Fractional Execs UAE is here to help businesses lead from the front—without compromise.
