Fatima Nakhjavanpur
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Founder and Managing Director, Choice HR Consultancy; faculty, Ashridge / Hult International Business School
Founder and Managing Director of Choice HR Consultancy, coaching in Dubai and the wider region since 2009. She works with business leaders, professionals and government officials, runs a mentoring programme for young women, and practises in English, French and Persian.
Why this placement
Her MCC is verified on ICF's own events platform, and that same platform publishes her coaching specialties as "Board level, C-Suite" — one of very few ICF-published confirmations of C-suite practice anywhere in this study. For a ranking of executive coaches specifically, an independent statement of the tier someone actually works at is worth more than a list of certifications.
Faculty membership at Ashridge / Hult and front-of-the-room leadership for the Co-Active Training Institute both put her in front of other practitioners rather than only clients. She gave a live master coaching demonstration at the ICF-MCC MENA Coachathon in May 2023, run jointly by eight regional chapters — demonstrating method in public rather than describing it.
Editorial notes and exclusions
- Currency flag. Her site's assets and copy run 2017–2024 and the page was last modified in July 2024. This entry should be re-confirmed at the January review, and readers should verify she is taking clients before approaching her.
- No books. A Forbes Middle East interview is linked from her media page but the link is old and was not confirmed to resolve.
