Dubai, April 29, 2020 – Arthur D. Little has announced the opening of its new office in the Dubai Knowledge Village. The move is true to its commitment to continue serving its increasing number of clients in the Middle East and the UAE in particular, and is based on genuine belief in the principle of optimism in the face of uncertainty. Located at the Dubai Properties Group Headquarters building, and covering over 12,000 square feet, the new office has been designed and built with a “workplace of the future” mind-set, combining spacious open-ceiling workstation areas with private offices, multiple-size meeting rooms, an innovation zone, and a common social area surrounding a modern pantry. As such, it offers an open and interconnected space that fosters teamwork and collaboration, while providing zones for solitude and private discussion.

“Having served the Middle East since the 1960s, and with a regional-office footprint starting in Dubai back in 2006, then Riyadh in 2010 and Beirut in 2015, our expanded new Dubai office is a testament to our unwavering commitment,” stated Ignacio Garcia Alves, Arthur D. Little’s Global Chairman and CEO, who was present at the new office’s inauguration. “As the oldest management consulting firm, established in 1886, we have invested over the years in the region and firmly believe in its prosperity, which we intend to continue to support with our differentiated industry and functional expertise.”

Arthur D. Little Middle East Managing Partner Thomas Kuruvilla stated, “We are privileged to have supported a constantly increasing number of private and public sector regional clients over the years on their multifaceted development agendas with a profound, thought-leading mind-set of linking strategy, innovation and transformation. The expansion of our Dubai operations is a culmination of these years of regional market growth. We have an increasing base of clients asking for more of our differentiated, quality services. We have added six partners to our Middle East ranks over the last year alone. This is unequivocally a story of success that we shall build on.”
