Who We Are

Built in the Gulf.
Built for What's Next.

Nine Nine Advisors is a boutique management consulting firm headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with an office in Manama, Bahrain. We work across the full spectrum of organizational challenges, from strategy to execution, governance to growth.

We are the destination for leaders who demand more than a report. We embed ourselves as true partners - senior, accountable, and invested in outcomes that outlast the engagement.

Our reach extends beyond the Gulf. We have advised clients in Europe and actively support international companies seeking to establish a presence in the GCC, as well as Gulf organizations exploring expansion or investment opportunities globally. Whether you are investing into the region or looking for investors to bring in, we are the bridge.

Big Four expertise. Boutique commitment. Our founding team carries close to a decade of experience within Big Four professional services firms, advising governments, corporates, and financial institutions across the GCC. We bring that institutional rigour without the institutional overhead.

Senior-Led. Always.

Every engagement is led by a senior advisor from day one. You get our best minds on your most critical challenges, never delegated to junior teams after the pitch.

  • Deep Regional Intelligence

    Gulf-native networks, regulatory fluency, and cultural context that global firms spend years trying to acquire.

  • Outcomes Over Outputs

    We measure success by what changes in your organization, not the volume of our deliverables.

  • Absolute Confidentiality

    Discretion is foundational. We earn trust through how we operate, not just what we sign.

01

Senior Advisors Every Time

You will not be passed to a junior analyst after the pitch. Every engagement is led and delivered by our senior partners. The experience you pay for is the experience you receive.

02

Rooted in the Gulf

Our team grew up in this market. We understand its rhythms, its relationships, and its rules - spoken and unspoken. We are not parachuted in. We are already here.

03

Results That Outlast Us

We measure success not by a report delivered but by whether the organisation is different after we leave. Our goal is to become unnecessary. That is how you know we did our job.

04

Discretion by Design

Confidentiality is not a clause in our contract - it is a principle in our culture. Our clients' situations, strategies, and identities remain exactly where they belong: with them.

"Strategic advisory for governments, enterprises, investors, and high-growth ventures across regional and international markets."

Yaser Abdulla Al Janahi

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Former KPMG Bahrain advisory leader with expertise in GCC investment and transformation

Yaser founded Nine Nine Advisors on a clear and unwavering principle: that the Gulf deserves advisory that is senior-led, deeply regional, and genuinely accountable. His academic foundation was built in Australia, where he completed a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting, before going on to earn multiple chartered qualifications from the UK and United States in management accounting, management, and consulting.

  • Close to a decade at KPMG Bahrain in auditing and financial advisory, serving a client portfolio spanning local institutions, international corporations, and sovereign entities
  • Hands-on experience across the full spectrum - from early-stage startups and family-managed businesses to mega and giga projects, banks, and government bodies
  • Specialist in market entry, cross-border expansion, and organizational transformation across Bahrain and Saudi Arabia

Prior to founding Nine Nine Advisors, Yaser served as Group COO of a prominent investment company based in Riyadh - a role that gave him rare operational depth to complement his advisory expertise. He brings to every engagement not just the rigour of a Big Four background, but the perspective of someone who has sat in the executive chair.
