Sultana El-Sayed

Spear's Review

Sultana El-Sayed is head of forensic investigations and intelligence in Kroll’s office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

She joined the international investigations firm in London, coming from Grant Thornton, then moved to Dubai before working in the Kingdom. Her clients had been almost exclusively governmental until a case involving the Capital Markets Authority in 2015 was publicised. Her work now involves many aspects of investigations of interest to business owners, including internal investigations into fraud, embezzlement, non-performing loans and financial misreporting and mismanagement.

She prides herself on very honest advice given to her clients, building trust based on the sort of independent assessment that can be given when someone from outside an organisation comes in with a fresh, searching pair of eyes.
