November 30, 2010 – Executive search firm Pedersen & Partners has opened a new office in Cairo, furthering its expansion in Middle East & Africa (MEAI). Mr. Ismail, who becomes the country manager for Egypt, brings a wealth of experience and market knowledge gained from the management consulting sector, having been executive manager at Ernst & Young, heading the performance improvement unit in Egypt. “We have been closely following the developments in North Africa and saw that our clients in the Gulf and Europe were looking to capitalize on the opportunities presented by this region and its maturing and mobile executive talent,” said Michael Al-Nassir, partner in charge of the MEAI region. “That is why we want to provide our clients with local presence in Egypt, combining our broad international coverage with local market knowledge in order to support them in executive recruitment needs.” Pedersen & Partners is an international executive search firm operating 40 wholly owned offices.
