Uniting leadership, expertise, & global networks to elevate regional and global executive search capabilities.
United States – Atlanta, Georgia / Middle East – (Egypt | UAE | Qatar) – June 18, 2026
The ExeQfind Group, a leading retained executive search firm with a strong presence across the Americas, today announced a strategic partnership with Aspire HR Consultants – Middle East, a highly regarded executive search and leadership advisory firm covering the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) from offices across Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.
As part of this strategic collaboration, Rania Abdalla, Founder and Managing Director of Aspire HR Consultants, will join the Board of Directors governing both The ExeQfind Group and The QualiFind Group. In this role, she will contribute her extensive HR executive leadership and retained executive search experience to support the continued expansion and strengthening of the firm’s global presence and client capabilities.
This partnership brings together two organizations with complementary strengths—ExeQfind’s global reach and executive search expertise, and Aspire HR Consultant’s deep regional knowledge and established presence across the Middle East and North Africa; creating a powerful, integrated platform to serve clients with cross-border talent needs.
A key foundation of this collaboration is the longstanding professional relationship between Rania Abdalla and The ExeQfind Group’s Senior Managing Partner, Warren Carter. Both previously served together on the Board of IRC Global Executive Search (now Kestria), reinforcing a shared commitment to excellence, trust, and global collaboration in executive search.
“Partnering with Aspire HR Consultants represents a significant step in strengthening our international capabilities,” said Warren Carter, Senior Managing Partner of The ExeQfind Group. “Rania’s appointment to our Board further enhances our leadership depth and brings invaluable perspective as we continue to expand globally.”
“Our long-standing relationship with Rania and Aspire HR Consultants will add value to our ability to tap into key talent in MENA, as well as serve clients in the region that have established business ties in the Americas. We are already looking at key industry sectors such as consumer products, logistics, and trade compliance where we are expecting significant demand for both direct hire and interim talent,” said Carlos Acosta, Senior Managing Partner of The QualiFind Group.
Rania Abdalla added, “Joining forces with The ExeQfind Group and The QualiFind Group is both a strategic and personal milestone. I am honored to contribute at the Board level while also advancing our shared vision of delivering exceptional talent solutions across regions and markets.”
