Led by senior practitioners. Backed by a deep specialist bench.
Straits is a small, deliberate AI consultancy founded in Dubai in 2025. Three named partners front of house. Fifteen specialists across data, engineering, product and change — engaged when the work calls for them. No bench warming, no padding.
Our philosophy
What we believe — and what we don't.
a.
Senior practitioners only.
No juniors learning on your engagement. Every consultant who works on your account has shipped enterprise systems. We staff lean, not pyramid.
b.
Outcomes, not slide decks.
We measure ourselves on whether your systems get used. Every roadmap includes adoption targets — and we stay involved until they are hit.
c.
Built to leave.
Our goal on day one is to train your team to take over. We document everything, transfer skills deliberately, and step back when you are ready.
The team
The people you will actually work with.
Front of house, every time. We don't swap in a junior delivery team after the sales process. These are the people who show up on the call.
Rony Oommen
Advisory Board Member (Hon)
Translates board-level intent into sequenced roadmaps engineering teams will actually build.

The most dangerous AI strategy is the one your people will not use. Adoption is the only metric that compounds.
