Can you kick things off by introducing yourself?
As I write from my new home in the UAE, I am compelled to reflect on how the landscape of digital infrastructure is transforming and how DPI’ s own journey is now deeply intertwined with this region’ s rapid evolution.
My recent decision to permanently relocate to the Emirates isn’ t just a personal milestone; it stands as a visible testament to DPI’ s unwavering commitment to the Middle East and the region’ s emergence as a cornerstone of the global digital economy.
Can you offer an understanding of DPI’ s global growth as of late, particularly its deepening commitment to the UAE?
At DPI, we understand that successful global expansion is always grounded by strong in-country leadership. Here in the UAE, our operations are guided by the expertise and stewardship of Steve Hewson, supported by Regional Director, Sean Christie and Operations Director, Sean Collins. Together, they lead a seasoned team that blends global best practices with local insight, ensuring our solutions reflect the unique demands and opportunities of the region.
The leadership of Hewson, alongside Christie and Collins is pivotal as we continue to invest in and serve Dubai and Abu Dhabi, while preparing for formal expansion into Saudi Arabia – further extending DPI’ s footprint across the GCC.
