BEIRUT (LEBANON), Thursday September 22nd 2022 — Artefact’s new Lebanon office to act as talent hub to support company’s strong growth in MENA and around the world

Today, Artefact, a major player in data and digital consulting services, announces the full commissioning of its office in Beirut, its third location in the MENA region, where it also has operations in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and Riyadh (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). The Lebanon subsidiary will be a strategic talent hub that supports Artefact Group’s intensive expansion, both in MENA and other territories (Europe, USA, and Asia); the company now employs more than 1000 people in 16 countries.

黎巴嫩办公室是Artefact的一个重要里程碑,该公司的目标是通过快速的有机增长和积极的并购计划成为全球数据咨询服务的领导者,并得到了该公司两个私募股权投资者Ardian和Cathay Capital的支持。

Artefact’s Beirut-based staff provides a strategic and elite talent pool for the entire company thanks to their multilingual capabilities and high level of education obtained at major local universities, such as the American University of Beirut, the Lebanese American University, the Université Saint Joseph and the Lebanese University.

The new office is helmed by two experienced Artefact Consulting Partners, Christelle Salame and Oussama Ahmad. Lebanese citizens educated in the country, they have been working in the MENA region for 12 and 15 years respectively on strategic and transformational projects for major brands; they will bring extensive expertise to the team. Lebanese employees will be trained, mentored and professionally developed within the company under the close supervision of highly skilled leaders, and also be promoted to managerial positions or transferred to other locations, as opportunities arise.

“Our office in Lebanon allows Artefact to leverage its large and expert talent pool. It also creates very attractive job opportunities for experienced professionals and new graduates, enabling them to increase their expertise in superior data domains, like data engineering, data science and analytics.The Beirut team is an extension of our United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia teams and will be vital to the rapid expansion of the company.”
says Christelle Salame, Partner of Artefact MENA.
“Artefact provides a great opportunity to Lebanese data scientists, data engineers, data analysts and digital marketers to join a fast-growing and global company that offers vast possibilities for career growth, exciting projects with reputable clients and a dynamic and young corporate culture. This is our way of emphasizing that despite the current economic downturn in Lebanon, we still believe in this country and the outstanding capabilities of its people.”
adds Oussama Ahmad, Partner of Artefact MENA.

目前和未来招聘的人员将包括数据分析师、数据科学家和数据工程师、数字营销人员和数据顾问。他们将与Artefact 集团的同行合作,完成数据驱动的任务,为企业提供商业价值,从数据战略到人工智能(AI)项目的实施。在广泛的参与下,他们将致力于前沿的数据转型模式(数据治理、数据平台实施、数据工厂、数据适应性和变革管理),按行业(如快速消费品、奢侈品、旅游、银行和保险、医疗保健和政府机构)的数据咨询解决方案,以及数据和数字营销,以及道德和可持续性项目的数据服务。

“Artefact’s expansion in Lebanon is very important to sustain our global growth ambitions. Given its strategic location in relation to our key European and MENA markets from a time zone perspective, and the depth and diversity of talent pools available in Lebanon, the Artefact Lebanon office will  be key to our development in the region and globally. We are committed to making significant investments in hiring, training and retaining the top talent in data consulting and AI in our Lebanon office.”
