Melium Consulting Expands to Dubai with Launch of Melium Link

Melium Consulting, the executive search specialist for the global consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector, today announced the official launch of Melium Link, its new base of operations in Dubai. The hub has been established to meet growing client demand for senior leadership hiring across the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, enabling Melium to deliver faster, more effective executive search services across these high-growth regions.

For years, Melium’s European clients have sought leadership talent to drive transformation in APAC and the Middle East, but time zones and geographic distance created significant barriers. With Dubai strategically positioned “Europe on our left, APAC on our right,” Melium Link now allows the firm to serve multinational CPG brands and scaling regional businesses seamlessly.

A New Model for Executive Search

Melium’s approach goes beyond traditional headhunting. The firm applies its proprietary S-CAP™ model, to ensure every appointment is aligned with a company’s growth maturity and transformation goals. This integrated process brings strategy and advisory insight directly into leadership search, delivering right-first-time results in weeks, not months.

“By establishing a presence in Dubai, we can finally serve our clients in the Middle East and APAC seamlessly, bridging time zones and delivering transformation talent where it’s needed most,” said Thomas Hamblin, Head of Melium Link at Melium Consulting. “Our S-CAP™ model allows us to reverse-engineer search from strategy, ensuring leaders are not just placed, but embedded into long-term growth roadmaps.”

Seizing Market Growth Across APAC and the Middle East

The move comes as global CPG companies step up investment and transformation across both APAC and the Middle East.

In APAC, high-growth markets such as Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok are driving demand for senior leaders in manufacturing, supply chain and commercial transformation.

In the Middle East, multinational CPGs and fast-scaling Saudi firms are investing heavily in global expansion, creating significant demand for international-standard leadership talent.

Hamblin added: “Our goal over the next 12 months is to establish Melium Link as a recognised name in the Middle East and APAC – not only with global FMCG brands, but also with ambitious local businesses scaling into new markets.”
