GLOBAL management consulting firm A.T. Kearney has reinforced its long-term growth plans in the Middle East with the relocation to a new office in the Kingdom. The move follows sustained demand from their local clients both in the public and private sectors in Saudi Arabia, who seek world-class strategic consultancy. With a long-standing presence in the region, A.T. Kearney strengthens its commitment to the Middle East with today’s inauguration of the new Riyadh office.
José Alberich, Lead Partner Saudi Arabia, A.T. Kearney, said “Saudi Arabia is the Middle East’s largest economy with an immense potential. We continue to support the drive for excellence and growth across several industries including oil & gas, chemicals, utilities, transportation and supply chain, infrastructure, consumer & retail, banking & financial sectors as well as public sector organizations. Our new office in Riyadh and relocation of senior consultants with in-depth expertise underlines our dedication to the success of our clients in the Kingdom.”
Saudi Arabia’s economy has undergone remarkable changes in a relatively short period of time. It has evolved to become a regional and global economic powerhouse over the past few years. Whilst the public sector is a key driver of economic development, the private sector is playing an increasingly larger role in the Saudi economy. Both sectors are expected to continue growing, especially as the Kingdom continues its strategy of economic diversification.
“The Saudi economy supported by private businesses is driving accelerated growth in a compressed timeframe, something we call ‘hyper speed evolution’. The backbone of such continued progress is diversification, innovation and talent – three key factors on which the Kingdom is focused. A. T. Kearney is well placed to provide the strategic consultancy and direction necessary in order to sustain this growth and we look forward to working closely with our Saudi clients to achieve even more success in the years to come,” commented Dan Starta, Partner and Managing Director, A.T. Kearney Middle East. A.T. Kearney’s office in Saudi Arabia is located in the King Faisal Foundation (Al Khaiyria) Building in Riyadh. — SG
