What you will have after 60 days
A sharper position, a prioritised GCC market and a focused route to the right decision-makers.
You will leave with more than advice: a clearer executive narrative, a mapped target market and a live campaign built around where relevant leadership demand may be forming.
We sharpen how your experience, leadership scope and commercial impact are presented across your executive narrative, CV and LinkedIn — so decision-makers quickly understand where you fit and why you are relevant now.

Priority-company map
Know which companies deserve your attention
You receive a prioritised map of GCC companies where growth, expansion, restructuring or leadership change may create relevant demand — so you focus on credible opportunities instead of applying everywhere.
03
Decision-maker map
Know who to approach — and in what order
Across the priority map, we identify relevant stakeholders and credible routes of approach. We prioritise who to contact and in what order, beginning with warm routes where available.
04
Guided live campaign
Turn the market map into focused action
You launch targeted outreach in your own name using tailored positioning and messaging. We review market feedback weekly, refine the approach and prepare you for conversations, interviews and negotiation as opportunities develop.
The Founder
Daniel Sterenzon
Founder, Sterenzon Advisory
Helping senior leaders become visible, trusted, and chosen.
Sterenzon Advisory is led by Daniel Sterenzon, an executive positioning advisor with over a decade of experience across HR, advisory and market-facing work. He works with senior leaders in the UAE and Saudi Arabia — and across the wider GCC.
The work combines practical advisory, market intelligence, AI-supported research and decision-maker mapping — a structured process built around one outcome: helping senior professionals become more visible, more credible and more likely to be considered by the right market.
Expansion, restructures, leadership changes and market entry can create a reason to investigate an organisation. A business signal is a starting point for research — it does not establish a vacancy, budget or hiring decision.

Candidate-side strategy, not recruitment.
Recruiters represent employers. Sterenzon Advisory works for the candidate — helping you assess relevant markets, identify who matters, and build a focused approach to your next senior role.
Before building this advisory practice, I spent years inside senior talent markets across Saudi Arabia and the GCC — including executive search exposure with Michael Page. That gave me a direct view of how leadership opportunities move, how decision-makers assess talent, and why strong professionals stay invisible until their positioning is fixed.

From market signals to a focused campaign.
Market intelligence becomes a prioritised company map, decision-maker research and focused outreach you lead in your own name. Not more applications — a sharper route to the right conversations.
The 60-day executive advisory engagement combines diagnosis and positioning, market mapping, and a focused campaign. It doesn't guarantee an offer — it builds a more focused path to the right conversations.
