Alvarez & Marsal announced the opening of a new office in Doha on February 1, 2026. The firm made the announcement during the Qatar Web Summit, happening in Doha from February 1 to 4. The expansion places Alvarez & Marsal on the ground in Qatar to support national transformation efforts aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030.
How Alvarez & Marsal plans to operate in Qatar
The Doha office strengthens Alvarez & Marsal’s ability to work directly with government ministries, sovereign institutions, and semi-government entities. At the same time, it will support family offices, private equity firms, and fast-growing companies operating in Qatar.
Unlike traditional advisory firms, Alvarez & Marsal deploys senior operators and former C-suite executives. These teams work alongside clients to execute strategy rather than deliver advisory reports. As a result, the firm focuses on measurable outcomes, operational performance, and return on investment.
Why the Qatar expansion matters now
Qatar continues to advance economic diversification under its National Development Strategy. According to World Bank data, Qatar’s real GDP is expected to grow by 2.8% in 2025, supported by non-oil sectors and LNG project expansion.
Through its Qatar presence, Alvarez & Marsal aims to build partnerships across oil and gas, public sector, and private sector organisations. The local office allows the firm to respond faster while aligning execution with national mandates.
Leadership statements on Alvarez & Marsal’s Qatar entry
Colie Spink, managing director and Middle East regional head at Alvarez & Marsal, said the decision reflects confidence in Qatar’s long-term growth. He added that the firm is building a local team to support both domestic partners and international investors engaged with Vision 2030.
Marcos Ganut, global head of infrastructure and capital projects, said the expansion responds to rising demand for region-specific expertise. He noted that Qatar’s focus on smart infrastructure and connectivity requires hands-on operational delivery.
