The new partnership seeks to enhance expertise and broaden executive search and recruitment networks between the two entities.
Middle East – (Egypt | UAE | Qatar) / United States – Atlanta, Georgia – April 2, 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 MENA with a direct presence in Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.
As part of this strategic collaboration, Rania Abdalla, Founder and Managing Director of Aspire HR Consultants – Middle East, 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 firms’ 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.”
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.”

- Expanded global reach: Access to executive and professional talent across more than 40 countries
