Hot on the heels of expanding into Saudi Arabia, strategy consulting firm Altman Solon has doubled down on its Middle East ambitions with the launch of a new office in Dubai.
The new Dubai hub becomes Altman Solon’s 17th worldwide and follows the US-headquartered firm’s recent expansion into Riyadh just weeks ago, and Stockholm a few months earlier.
“Dubai’s role as a global business hub offers unparalleled connectivity, operational efficiency, and access to top talent, making it an ideal location to support client projects across the GCC, Levant, and Africa,” said Björn Menden, partner at Altman Solon.
“The Dubai hub complements our Riyadh office, which remains central to our regional strategy, particularly in alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. Together, the two offices ensure that our experts can deliver tailored solutions while staying close to our clients.”
Established in 2020 through a merger of an American consultancy with a European counterpart, Altman Solon advises C-suite leaders on corporate strategy, market entry, product development, mergers & acquisitions, and operational improvements. The firm has an exclusive focus on the TMT landscape – telecommunications, media, and technology.
“The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing regions for media, sports, and digital platforms,” said partner Andreas Tiefengraber. “Our Dubai office positions us to help clients seize opportunities across content, advertising, and monetization, while applying global best practices to local markets.”
Lukasz Nowicki, an Associate Partner at the consulting firm, added: “Our new office strengthens our ability to serve the region’s technology and infrastructure sectors, sovereign wealth funds, and international investors. With teams now in both Riyadh and Dubai, we can better support clients on growth strategies, AI adoption, mergers & acquisitions, and strategic partnerships.”
Other members of the senior team in the Middle East include Osama Al-Dosary (senior advisor), who previously served as President and CEO of telecom operator Salam, and as Deputy Minister for Communication Infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. Earlier in his career, he held leadership roles at VMware and Cisco.
In the coming months, Altman Solon plans to expand its local team with senior leaders and local hires.
