Black Oaks delivers Middle East–focused corporate strategy and market advisory services, grounded in more than two decades of regional leadership. Founded in 2022 by Ben Ganley — former CEO within the Al Khorafi and Lootah family office groups and an alumnus of Deloitte and Lend Lease — Ben brings 25 years of experience in forming, launching, and scaling new ventures across the GCC. With a core strength in commercial real estate, Black Oaks provides clients with market leading strategy, structuring, and delivery capabilities, informed by a project portfolio spanning residential masterplanning, mixed use commercial, and community retail development. Black Oaks takes its name from the native Black Oak trees that grow on Ben’s family property, The Oaks, in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia. The brand draws on this landscape — resilient, grounded, and enduring — as a metaphor for the firm’s approach to strategy and execution. The above photo is an entrance signpost to the property, a proud marker of place and legacy that informs the identity of our Middle East–based advisory firm.
