Ahmad Din

Ahmad Din is a Corporate Finance and Transaction Advisory Specialist with over 12 years of experience advising sponsors, investment groups, and operating companies across Saudi Arabia, the GCC, and Pakistan.

As Senior Manager of Corporate Finance at Synergistic Financial Advisors, Ahmad serves as lead financial advisor to Dallah Investment (KSA), one of the Kingdom's prominent investment groups. He has led the financial structuring, modeling, and evaluation of multi-billion riyal mixed-use developments across the Dallah portfolio: residential towers, commercial districts, hospitality components, and retail destinations.

That work runs the length of a development. Phased planning and construction cash flow management at the front, installment-based revenue structures through the sales window, debt waterfalls and DSCR-compliant lender modeling where the financing is decided, and IRR optimization across the whole. The output supports capital raising, joint venture structuring, and disciplined deployment across a multi-asset portfolio.

His renewable energy and infrastructure work includes comprehensive FP&A operating models for ACWA Power's Central Asia solar and wind projects, automating monthly reporting cycles across forecast-year financials, construction cash flows, budget versus actual variance, IRR tracking, DSCR monitoring, and CFADS calculations. He brings deep expertise in tariff calculation, debt sizing, and debt sculpting for project finance structures.

He has also developed PPP bid frameworks for electric bus fleet projects submitted to the Governments of Punjab and Sindh, covering Capex structuring, tariff modeling, subsidy analysis, and lifecycle cost economics. In KSA, he independently structured the financial model and feasibility framework for a greenfield biofuel plant, securing project financing from Wa'ed, the entrepreneurship arm of Saudi Aramco.

He has trained and mentored over 35 professionals in financial modeling and valuation throughout his career, strengthening advisory capabilities across client mandates.

In 2017, Ahmad established PaceMakers Business Consultants as a sole proprietorship, which he grew and restructured as a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) in 2023, registered under SECP Section 7 of the LLP Act, 2017. Financial Modeler Pro is the flagship platform of PaceMakers Business Consultants LLP.

Ahmad founded PaceMakers because he saw a gap in how sophisticated capital is served in the GCC.

The top-tier advisory firms bring institutional discipline but often at senior-in-name-only pricing. Boutique shops promise senior attention but frequently deliver junior work behind the founder’s business card. Family offices, developers, and investors who need serious financial analysis often had to choose between the two.

PaceMakers exists to close that gap. Every mandate is partner-led, drawing on twelve years of experience on multi-billion riyal transactions. There is no junior handoff, no template rollout, no lowest-common-denominator model. Clients get institutional analysis with senior judgment on every line.

The firm stays deliberately small. That is a feature, not a limitation. A boutique that only takes the mandates it can lead directly is a boutique that stays credible.
