Anthony Boukather is a Certified Chair™ and Community Chair for the Middle East at the Advisory Board Centre. He brings deep expertise in establishing strategic advisory boards to support complex investment decisions across fast-paced commercial environments.

In this short, focused conversation with Louise Broekman, Founder & Head of Faculty of the Advisory Board Centre, Anthony shares insights from a recent engagement with a GCC-based partner evaluating a significant automotive distribution opportunity with a European brand. Faced with tight timelines and strong shareholder expectations, the organisation needed an independent, evidence-led review of an externally developed financial model.

Anthony joined a six-month advisory board made up of five experts in finance and the automotive sector. It played a key role in reviewing assumptions, validating data and providing impartial guidance.

The result was a clearer understanding of the investment landscape. Forecasts were refined to reflect market realities, uncovering extended timeframes, increased capital requirements, and higher risk levels. This led to a more considered investment decision, reduced internal pressure and a stronger position in negotiations.

Watch the conversation below to hear how Anthony helps transform investment ambition into sound strategy through the power of structured, independent advisory boards.
