Doha, Qatar: Northbourne Advisory has officially launched in Qatar, offering strategic advice to leaders navigating high-pressure environments and reputational risk. Founded by long-standing regional advisor Justin Kerr-Stevens and endorsed by Media City Qatar, the firm is already active across the Gulf, Australia, and Europe.
Northbourne positions itself as a discreet, high-trust partner for senior leaders and organisations with reputations to protect and opportunities to shape. Its focus is on situations where expectations are high and outcomes matter most.
“Our approach is built around clarity, challenge, and action, ensuring clients receive judgment shaped by real experience,” said founder and CEO Justin Kerr-Stevens.
“We’re not interested in being everything to everyone. Our focus is tight for a reason. We support clients when timing matters, when trust matters, and when decisions cannot be left to chance,” he added.
At its core, Northbourne delivers strategy, crisis management, reputation advisory, geopolitical insight, stakeholder engagement, and capability building. The firm also works behind the scenes to help organisations assess their internal communications infrastructure and build long-term capability. This includes reviewing in-house structures, clarifying roles and responsibilities, and equipping senior teams to perform under pressure. Through training, simulations, and strategic planning, the aim is to make communications sharper, faster, and more effective when it counts.
