Bain & Co expands Middle East presence with Dubai office
 
 Bain & Company, the
global business
consulting firm, has
opened its 38th office,
in Dubai.
   The Dubai office will
be the operating nexus
for Bain's operations in
the Middle East. The
opening is in response
to the firm's growing
roster of clients in
that market, including
local companies,
multinational
corporations,
 
 family-owned
conglomerates and
private equity funds.
   "Opening an office in
the Middle East is a
natural step in our
continuing expansion in
the GCC and Egypt," said
Steve Ellis, Bain &
Company worldwide
managing director. "We
have been working with
companies in the region
since the mid-1990s and
have a strong client
base and local
 
 knowledge. Opening our
office in Dubai is an
important milestone in
our commitment to the
region."
   Bain & Company Middle
East will be under the
leadership of Jean-Marie
Péan, who after several
years of working closely
with clients in the
region becomes managing
director for Bain in the
Middle East. A veteran
Bain & Company partner
and leader in the firm's
 
 Global Organisation
Practice, Péan brings
both an established
track record of leading
successful Bain teams
and of successfully
launching new offices
for the firm, having
opened the Bain Brussels
office in 1990 and
leading the Paris office
until 2001.
   Péan is joined by two
senior partners, Julien
Faye, head of the Middle
East Financial Services
 
 and Private Equity
Practices and Naji
Sourati, head of the
Middle East
Telecommunications,
Media and Technology
Practice.
   The Bain office is
located at Dubai World
Trade Centre, Sheikh
Zayed Road, Dubai.
