Guidepoint’s new office is located at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), in the heart of Dubai’s financial district, and will house senior project managers, experienced researchers and business development professionals.

Guidepoint CEO, Albert Sebag, commented “Dubai was the logical next step for us in our continued global expansion. Over the last few years, we have had successful international growth by opening new offices in Seoul, Dusseldorf, and Tokyo; and moving to larger premises in San Francisco and Boston to accommodate our rapidly expanding teams.”

Bilal Sabouni, Director, Head of Middle East, said “Our new office allows us to further solidify our 24/7 service model, particularly for clients in the Middle East with a Sunday-Thursday work week. With local support teams, we will enhance our response time and provide quality high-touch service.”
