Senior advice from people who have built organisations, not just advised them.

Success Action is a Dubai-based organisation development, executive search and HR consultancy serving Africa, the Middle East and India.

Samir Mathur

Chief Executive Officer

Samir advises CEOs and boards on the questions that decide whether a strategy succeeds: whether the organisation is structured to deliver it, and whether the right leaders are in place to run it.

His work spans restructuring, post-merger integration, succession planning, leadership development and senior search for organisations across East and West Africa, the Gulf and India. He treats organisation development as a business discipline, judged by performance rather than activity.

What we believe

Strategy fails in the organisation, not on paper.

Most growth plans stall because of structure, leadership or capability, not because the idea was wrong.

The right hire in the wrong structure still fails.

That's why we do both search and organisation design, and why we assess both.

Regional context matters.

What works in Dubai doesn't automatically work in Nairobi or Lagos. We design for the market you're in.
