Forbes Middle East has named Donna Sultan, President and CEO of the KEO Group, among the Top 100 CEOs in the Middle East for 2026.
Read down the list and a pattern emerges. Banking groups. Energy companies. Enterprises of sovereign scale. A professional consultancy is a rare presence in that company, which makes this recognition about more than one name. It reflects what a firm of architects, engineers, planners, cost consultants, and program managers has come to mean to the region's largest undertakings.
The recognition rests on a rare span of leadership. Through more than 35 years as Chief Executive Officer, and since 2016 as President and CEO, Donna has turned tenure into momentum, raising KEO's standing in the profession, extending the group across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, and broadening its services into new fields of expertise while deepening the knowledge at their core. Beneath it all sits a conviction she has held from the start: build a culture where people thrive, professionally and personally, and the rest follows.
To our President and CEO: congratulations, with pride, from everyone at KEO and our Allied Practices.
