Understanding the facts, the actors and the dynamics before acting.
SAIME3i is an independent advisory and strategic intelligence firm, focused on Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
We help organisations and decision-makers clarify a situation, verify the information that matters, and build decisions they can stand behind.
Entering into an agreement with a partner, expanding internationally, digital exposure or adopting artificial intelligence each raise different questions. Our starting point remains the same: understanding the decision to be made, its context and its consequences.
The firm and its conviction
SAIME3i grew out of a professional and personal path shaped by different environments, several countries, and a constant attention to how organisations actually work.
This experience feeds a conviction: informing a decision requires understanding the information available, but also the people, the constraints and the realities on the ground.
The firm works across four complementary practice areas: strategic advisory and intelligence, cybersecurity and digital intelligence, artificial intelligence, development and market entry.
Each assignment answers a specific question. Depending on the need, it may draw on several of these practice areas, with a defined scope and a clearly stated expected outcome.
The founder
Hisseine Saleh — Founder of SAIME3i
After a career in finance, administration and project management, Hisseine Saleh developed an advisory approach attentive to the realities of organisations and to the quality of information.
This background taught him to read an organisation through its figures, its decision-making circuits and its commitments — and to spot what doesn’t add up. It is the foundation of the verification work the firm carries out. On technical matters, he works with cybersecurity analysts and specialists, and designs the automation and artificial intelligence tools that structure the firm’s analyses himself.
His experience across different cultural and professional environments shapes the way he reads situations: practices, relationships between actors and local conditions matter as much as what is recorded in a file.
Author of two published books, he also gives writing an important place in his work. Structuring a thought, examining its arguments and conveying an idea clearly are requirements he finds echoed in advisory work.
Direct involvement, expertise suited to the need
The founder is directly involved in framing, directing and delivering every assignment. The client has a single, identified point of contact, who follows the matter and ensures continuity throughout.
Depending on the needs of the mandate, SAIME3i can draw on complementary expertise: specialist firms, analysts, lawyers, country specialists or independent professionals.
These partners are brought in to meet a specific requirement of the assignment. Their contribution and scope of work are defined within the framework agreed with the client.
This structure combines a direct relationship with expertise suited to the situation.
Our commitments
- 01Verify and explain. Our analyses distinguish established facts, hypotheses and elements that remain uncertain. Conclusions must be understandable and traceable to the information that supports them.
- 02Preserve independence. We examine situations that could create a conflict of interest, and the conditions under which an assignment can be conducted with objectivity.
- 03Respect the framework of the assignment. The scope, the information used and the terms of engagement are defined upfront. Confidentiality and the use of lawful means are part of this requirement.
- 04Deliver work that can be used. The deliverable must allow the client to understand the results, their limits and the possible next steps. Documentation and knowledge transfer accompany this process when the assignment calls for it.
