Nine years in the field
taught me how leadership
actually gets built.

Organizational Development Consultant and Program Leader. I have managed the programs, led the teams, and carried the budgets I now advise on. That experience became Ofuq, a leadership framework built from delivery, not theory, and it shapes my work across Jordan, the region, and increasingly Saudi Arabia.

From Field Delivery
to Frameworks You Can Use

Organizational development · program leadership · leadership & capability building

Nine years of running programs taught me that training alone rarely changes how people actually lead. I built Ofuq to close that gap, for development organizations, government-adjacent entities, and private-sector clients across the region, with a growing focus on Saudi Arabia. The goal: leadership development that is field-tested before it reaches them.

Ofuq: A Leadership Framework Built From the Field

Ofuq did not start as a product. It started as a working answer to a gap I kept seeing in leadership development: programs that teach people how to lead before giving them the chance to understand themselves. Built from nine years of program delivery, Ofuq moves individuals, teams, and organizations from self-awareness to responsible action and leadership.

Most of what Sari advises on, he has personally delivered: managing the programs, leading the teams, and carrying the budgets himself, not only facilitating workshops about them.
