About Faris Aranki

Faris Aranki, is the founder and CEO of Shiageto Consulting!

​Having spent over 20 years delivering strategic change for the corporate and non-corporate worlds (as a top-tier strategy consultant, non-exec director, educator and in-house strategist), Faris has experienced first-hand the fine differences between strategic success and failure.

His work has spanned numerous companies (from global behemoths to small start-ups), in numerous countries, across a range of sectors (including energy, banking, consumer goods, telco and media, government, automotive and education), supporting them all to unlock strategic success.

He came to realise that often what hinders institutions from achieving their goals goes beyond the quality of their strategy; it is their ability to engage effectively with others at all levels and remove barriers in their way that can be the real barometers of success.

Over time, Faris has built on his knowledge of how to solve complex problems in a structured manner, combining it with his skill for engaging others effectively and his ability to quickly determine the barriers to a strategy's success to consistently add value to clients. This knowledge has formed the foundation of our workshops, courses and methodologies.

Faris believes that any firm or team can adopt these improvements; all it requires is a little of the right support - something Shiageto provides!

​He is ably assisted by a team of associates and specialists to deliver this work for clients.
