Meet the Founder
Zahi Abdein
Founder & CEO, 360° Consulting Inc. · Leadership Advisor · Executive Coach · Facilitator · Speaker
Zahi Abdein has spent over two decades working at the intersection of leadership, strategy, and human performance. He has advised boards and C-suite executives, designed leadership systems for government entities, and facilitated high-stakes conversations for organizations navigating transformation, uncertainty, and growth.
His work spans Saudi Arabia, the GCC, Jordan, Europe, and the United States — bringing both global perspective and regional depth to every engagement. He is certified in Situational Leadership® and works as an associate faculty member and partner with several global executive education and leadership development organizations.
Zahi's approach is grounded in the belief that leadership is not a title or a training program — it is the most practical lever an organization has for strategy execution, culture change, and sustainable performance. Through his firm, 360° Consulting Inc., he brings that belief to life for each client, with rigor, directness, and care.
He is also a recognized voice on AI-integrated leadership — working with boards and senior teams to move beyond AI awareness toward governance, strategy, and capability that creates real business value.
The Firm
We treat leadership as a business discipline, not a development activity.
360° Consulting Inc. was established in 2019 in Raleigh, North Carolina. From the start, our purpose has been straightforward: help organizations build leadership capability that is directly connected to strategy, culture, and results — not disconnected from the work that actually matters.
We work with government entities, multinationals, family-owned enterprises, and corporate academies. Our clients span Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Europe, and the United States. What they share is a commitment to leadership development that goes beyond certification — development that produces measurable change in how leaders think, decide, and act.
We are a small, selective firm. We do not scale by taking on every client or delivering every program. We go deep with the organizations we choose to partner with, and we take responsibility for outcomes — not just delivery.
Our Approach
How we work.
Strategic First
We start with your organizational context — not a catalog of programs. Every engagement begins with understanding your strategy, your culture, and the specific leadership gaps that are costing you performance.
Evidence-Based
We design for behavior change, not just awareness. Our programs and interventions are grounded in adult learning principles, assessment data, and methods that have been proven to work at the senior level.
Accountable for Results
We measure. We evaluate at multiple levels. We are not satisfied with participant satisfaction scores — we look for changes in leadership behavior, team performance, and organizational outcomes.
