Background-
KPMG has appointed Islam Al-Bayaa as CEO of KPMG Middle East and Khalil Al-Sedais as its country leader for Saudi Arabia, as business transformation gathers pace across the region.

Demand for advisory services is rising as Middle East businesses pursue diversification, technology change and cross-border investment. New industries and investment under Saudi Arabia’s transformation agenda add to that demand.

He plans to unite KPMG’s regional capabilities, invest in people and build strength in technology, artificial intelligence, governance and cross-border growth, while supporting clients across multiple markets.
Al-Bayaa brings more than 30 years of experience in professional services, transactions and investment banking, and has held senior KPMG leadership roles in Saudi Arabia.
