Várri Consultancy Earns Gold in Middle East Risk & Compliance Rankings

Recognised for its growing expertise, Várri Consultancy has progressed from Bronze to Gold in just one year.

Várri Consultancy, an independent boutique consulting firm, has advanced from a Bronze rating in 2022 and 2023 to a Gold rating in the 2024 Consultancy Middle East Risk & Compliance Rankings. This milestone reinforces Várri Consultancy’s reputation as a trusted and growing consulting partner in the region.

Rising to the Top in a Competitive Landscape

Now in its third edition, the Top Consulting Firms in the Middle East 2024 guide evaluated over 1,000 consulting firms across more than 40 practice areas and more than 40 sectors. In the Middle East edition, over 500 consulting firms were assessed for their risk and compliance expertise, of which 59 qualified as top players. Among the firms assessed, 4 received a Diamond rating, 13 Platinum, 19 Gold, 16 Silver, and 7 Bronze.

A Measured Approach to Excellence

Assessing what defines a “top consulting firm” is inherently subjective, influenced by variables such as service focus, regions, and other factors. To address this, Consultancy Middle East uses a holistic methodology combining two equally weighted elements:

1. The Capabilities Assessment (50%) leverages Consultancy.org’s extensive database to evaluate five dimensions: capabilities, awards, prestige, thought leadership, and popularity.
2. Client and Consultant Feedback (50%)—In 2024, over 900 client reviews and 2,800 firm reviews from consultants contributed to an informed perspective on firm performance and market impact.

All consulting firms operating in the Middle East automatically qualify for assessment, ensuring inclusivity and impartiality. Firms meeting the data threshold are ranked across five tiers—Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze—and further sorted by their average scores within each category. Notably, differences within tiers can be minimal, and unranked firms may still excel in their fields.

Johnny Kollin, Founder and Managing Director of Várri Consultancy, says:

Our progression from Bronze to Gold highlights the trust our clients place in us and reflects the value of our tailored solutions. This achievement motivates us to build on our expertise and continue delivering innovative strategies for our clients.

Várri Consultancy’s advancement to Gold in 2024 highlights its growing reputation as a trusted and specialised consulting partner. It follows the firm’s recent recognition as a ‘Global Leader’ by Clutch, a respected B2B marketplace that highlights top-performing service providers globally.
