our approach
We are more than consultants—we are strategic partners in your transformation journey.
Founded in 2022 by Rania Derian and Mohamad Kaissi, two of the region’s most respected leaders in governance, risk management, compliance and internal audit, PaCT was born from a shared vision: to elevate organizational performance and integrity across the Arab world.
With decades of combined experience leading internal audit risk, and governance functions across banking, industry and advisory, Rania and Mohamad bring unmatched technical depth, regional insight and a reputation for delivering results that matter. Their expertise spans regulatory compliance, enterprise risk frameworks, board governance and people development—empowering public and private institutions alike to navigate complexity with confidence.
Together, they have built PaCT as a firm rooted in integrity, excellence and impact. Headquartered in the UAE and Lebanon, and active across the Middle East, we offer consulting and training solutions tailored to your unique context—whether you’re shaping a boardroom strategy, building internal capabilities, or ensuring alignment with international best practices.
We listen, collaborate, and co-create—because your success is our shared pact.

Our method combines technical precision with cultural awareness, recognizing the unique needs of organizations across the UAE, Lebanon and the broader Arab region. Whether we’re delivering a custom training course or designing an enterprise-wide governance framework, we ensure every engagement is:
With PaCT, you’re not just hiring consultants or trainers—you’re forming a partnership committed to growth, integrity and measurable impact.
