The Founder

Akram AlQadasi

Strategy architect with 15+ years across investment governance, corporate strategy, and business transformation. Creator of the Know-Show-Grow framework and Strategic Intervention methodology.

After years of consulting work across MENA with major holding companies and family businesses, I noticed a pattern: founders didn't lack strategy—they lacked visibility into their own strategy. The expertise was trapped in their heads. Strategy2Action exists to solve that problem.

Our Philosophy

What We Believe

Strategy Exists

You already have a strategy. It's in your decisions, your instincts, your patterns. We don't give you strategy—we make yours visible.

Mirrors Beat Advice

We're not consultants who tell you what to do. We're mirrors that show you what you already know but can't yet see clearly.

Soul Before Systems

Systems without soul fail. We start with identity alignment (KNOW) before architecture (SHOW) before market (GROW).
