Exova has strengthened its senior team with the appointment of a new managing director for its Middle East, Asia and Asia Pacific region (MEAAP).
Matt Davies joined the company two years ago as finance director with more than 17 years experience working in global companies.
His promotion will see him take the position over from Hicham Abdallah who played a critical role in returning the region to growth.
Ian El-Mokadem, Chief Executive Officer of Exova, said: “Matt has played an invaluable role in providing senior counsel and support to our team and his promotion ensures leadership continuity for our MEAAP business.
“I am delighted to welcome him to our Group Executive Committee where his skills and market knowledge will be key in helping us realise our growth ambitions”.
Davies will have responsibility for 11 specialist laboratories and over 1,000 experts across the region providing specialist testing and advisory services to leading organisation in the oil and gas, environmental, infrastructure and health science sectors.
