This expansion symbolizes more than just a new office; it underscores a commitment to linking Canadian-led delivery excellence from Montreal, Quebec, with one of the world's most rapidly progressing regions in digital and human-capital transformation.

To enhance its regional impact, EC-EXPERTS is collaborating with Omnia Partnerships, leveraging its enablement network to accelerate market presence across MEA. The collaboration is set to enrich the firm's capabilities while reaching a broader client base.
Assisting in driving this growth is Kasper Kyhl, a senior HR technology executive with over 15 years of experience in fostering innovation across the EMEA region. His background in leading HR SaaS organizations has positioned him as a key player in expanding partner ecosystems and facilitating digital HR transformation for globally recognized enterprises.
Together, EC-EXPERTS, Omnia Partnerships, and Kasper Kyhl create a compelling combination of global credibility, regional knowledge, and a client-focused approach, positioning EC-EXPERTS as the preferred SAP SuccessFactors partner in MEA.
