Build the Leading Independent Digital Transformation Advisory in the Middle East
Hamilton Bradshaw — a family office firm founded by renowned investor James Caan CBE — is seeking an entrepreneurial leader to found and scale a boutique digital transformation advisory firm in Dubai, serving enterprise clients across the UAE and MENA.
This is not a job — it’s a founder-backed launchpad with seed capital, strategic infrastructure, and global backing. If you’re a digital leader with commercial edge, this is your opportunity to build a high-trust advisory brand from the ground up.
Why Digital Transformation, Why Now?
Across the GCC, enterprise demand is surging for:
- Business model innovation enabled by AI, cloud, and data platforms
- Legacy system modernization and digital maturity acceleration
- Pre-investment tech readiness and digital due diligence
- Digital enablement for family businesses and private firms
- Regional expansion support for scaling tech companies
Yet the market lacks a nimble, founder-led advisory firm that blends strategic insight with implementation capability.
What the Firm Will Deliver
You’ll launch a high-impact services platform offering:
- Digital transformation roadmaps for legacy and growth-stage companies
- AI, data, and automation strategy and execution
- ERP, cloud, and cybersecurity modernizations
- Tech readiness for fundraising, M&A, or IPO
- Strategic IT due diligence and digital audits
- Advisory for family businesses embracing digital scale
Why Partner with Hamilton Bradshaw
- Founder Ownership: You lead and own your firm as Founding Partner
- Capital Support: Seed funding for launch, team, brand, and BD
- Strategic Network: Access HB’s global ecosystem of experts, clients, and advisors
- Brand Credibility: Leverage the global profile of James Caan CBE
- Proven Playbook: Built-in guidance from past launches of high-trust professional services firms
What You’ll Build
With our support, you will create a firm recognized for:
- End-to-end digital strategy and execution
- Specialized transformation solutions for MENA corporates
- Support for investors and acquirers needing tech diligence
- Sector-specific digital frameworks in retail, logistics, finance, and more
- Premium brand positioning in a high-trust services market
What We Provide
- Equity Partnership: You hold real ownership as the firm’s founder
- Seed Capital: To fund early hires, brand, legal setup, and go-to-market
- Strategic Guidance: On firm structure, talent, and scalable growth
- Acceleration Resources: Support across positioning, client acquisition, and visibility
Who You Are
You are not just a technologist — you’re a founder.
You bring:
- Residence in Dubai and familiarity with the GCC and MENA enterprise ecosystem
- 10+ years of experience in digital transformation, Big Four advisory, technology consulting, or corporate innovation leadership
- A track record in leading enterprise digital programs or advisory engagements
- A strong network of decision-makers, investors, and implementation partners
- Vision, credibility, and commercial mindset to lead a founder-owned digital brand
- Ability to take engagements from origination to impact
How to Apply
Please submit:
- Your LinkedIn profile
- A concise Pitch Deck covering:
- Your experience in digital transformation and leadership
- Your vision for the firm — sector, niche, and positioning
- Core services and business model
- Target clients and pricing structure
- A 36-month roadmap (clients, hires, revenues)
