Qorvis Strengthens Presence in the Middle East with New Facilities in Riyadh and Dubai

Qorvis Expands Presence in the Middle East

In a significant move to solidify its presence in the Middle East, Qorvis, a well-respected global strategic communications and advisory firm, has registered a subsidiary in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and expanded its regional headquarters in Dubai. As the firm aims to strengthen its foothold in the Gulf region, these developments highlight its long-term commitment to serving clients not just in the Middle East, but globally.

The newly registered subsidiary in Riyadh is a noteworthy achievement in Qorvis’s nearly two-decade history of aiding government bodies, corporations, and institutions throughout Saudi Arabia. According to CEO Matt J. Lauer, "With our new entity in Riyadh, we are better positioned to deliver for our clients, offering on-the-ground capabilities and deep regional expertise at a time when the Kingdom's transformation continues to shape the region and the world."

This expansion is a natural progression for Qorvis, following the firm’s increased momentum in the Gulf region. The new office in the highly regarded Almas Tower within the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) marks an important step in improving their operational effectiveness across the region. The DMCC, a prime hub for trade and commerce in Dubai, enhances the firm’s ability to support clients in navigating financial and regulatory complexities, securing access to capital markets, and ensuring transparent communication.

The leadership at the DMCC hub includes Grace Fenstermaker, Managing Partner for the EMEA region, and Özkan Yilmaz, Chief Financial Officer. Fenstermaker brings a wealth of experience from advising multinational corporations and governments, while Yilmaz has a solid background in banking and energy trading.

Beyond the immediate benefits of having a more localized presence, Qorvis’s operations in the Middle East are designed to provide an array of integrated services. These include strategic communications, geopolitical advisory, market intelligence, and compliance efforts, all tailored to meet the unique needs of clients operating in this complex environment. The alignment of the Dubai and Riyadh hubs further integrates Qorvis’s operations with its offices located in Washington, D.C., Geneva, and Brussels.

Qorvis has built a reputation over the years for helping prominent companies, governments, and institutions navigate the complexities of geopolitical landscapes while managing risk and shaping public understanding in crucial markets. With its new investments in the Middle East, Qorvis not only reaffirms its commitment to the region but also sets a decisive momentum for further growth and expansion throughout the Gulf.

In a world where geopolitical dynamics are constantly shifting, the establishment of a subsidiary in Riyadh and a relocated headquarters in Dubai positions Qorvis to better serve its clientele. As the Middle East continues to evolve, Qorvis stands ready to adapt and engage effectively in this vibrant market, ensuring robust support and strategic insights for its clients.
