About Kayen Akeel
Strategic advisor, problem solver, and trusted partner to C-suite executives
My Mission
To empower CEOs and business leaders by providing strategic guidance, hands-on support, and innovative solutions that transform challenges into opportunities for growth and success.
My mission is to deliver tailored, specialised services for each unique project, recognising that it's highly unlikely CXOs can hire someone with my level of expertise for spot projects unless they invest significant time and resources in training. I bring diverse expertise from various industries and life experiences to every engagement, with particular strength in people handling and working effectively with diverse ranges of individuals - from local village communities to foreign VIP delegations - ensuring culturally intelligent and contextually appropriate solutions.
