H/Advisors has appointed Amel Osman as Managing Director and Head of UAE.
The global strategic advisory group, part of Havas, opened its Dubai office in 2023 and has since grown both its team and client base, with a particular focus on financial and corporate communications, as well as crisis and issues management.
Dany Naaman, CEO of Havas Middle East, said: “Havas and its joint venture with Chalhoub Group in the region is long established and has provided a strong base for H/Advisors to launch its strategic communications services in Dubai.
“We have been successfully integrating our talent pools and experience over the last two years, and we are confident that Amel’s appointment will help propel the business to the next level.”
Osman brings 15 years of communications experience to the role, and takes over from Laura Stockwell, who successfully led the launch and build out of H/Advisors across the GCC.
“Great communication happens when local insight, strategic intelligence and meticulous execution come together,” she said. “I look forward to joining H/Advisors whose breadth, depth and global perspective, strengthened by the Havas ecosystem, reflect the region’s complexity and support organisations as they navigate it with confidence.
“Across the Middle East, regional actors are shaping global conversations, and we look forward to supporting clients as they grow, transform, and strengthen their reputations across these dynamic markets.”
