Shahbaz Khot

Founder & CEO

Building the consulting firm he wished existed

Shahbaz Khot noticed that most businesses struggled with the same problems: unclear strategy, operational inefficiency, and change that never stuck. As a senior consultant at a global management firm, he saw first-hand how transformative the right advice could be.

In 2019, he founded Unify Infomatics in Dublin with one mission: bring sharp, senior-level consulting to businesses of every size. Today the firm has delivered over 117 projects across four key industries, maintaining a 97% client satisfaction rate.

What drives us

Our values in practice

These are not values on a wall. They are the principles that shape every conversation, every recommendation, and every relationship we build.

Integrity above all

We say what we believe, not what clients want to hear. Honest advice leads to real results.

Outcomes over outputs

We measure success by your results — not by the thickness of a report or length of a slide deck.

People first

Every organisation is a group of people. We design strategies that people can actually execute and sustain.

Excellence in everything

We hold ourselves to the same standards we recommend to our clients — no exceptions, no shortcuts.
