Enhanced presence in the region will better support local clients and industry.

Cognizant has expanded its presence in the Middle East with an additional office in Qatar, to better serve its regional client base by responding to continued demand to support them in their digital transformation journeys. Cognizant will be leveraging the office’s time zone to enhance support of its Middle Eastern clients, in particular in the public sector and industries such as oil and gas, banking and finance, insurance, travel and hospitality as well as media and communications.

“We are extremely excited to open our new office in Qatar, a place that perfectly connects Asia, Europe and North America and with ambitions of becoming another big economic hub in the region. We are looking forward to partnering with companies and support their ongoing digital transformation journeys and enable business growth through our skills and best practices of intuitive engineering that create outcome and community value,” says Maged Wassim, VP, Head of Middle East, Cognizant. “Cognizant has evolved dramatically over the past few years and we have the ability to engineer modern enterprises as clients navigate a post-pandemic era.
