BigBear.ai, a leading company that delivers advanced, ready-to-use AI solutions for defense, intelligence, and commercial customers, has opened its first office in the Middle East.
The new office is located at the World Trade Center in Abu Dhabi and highlights the company’s long-term commitment and investment in the region.
Kevin McAleenan, President & CEO of BigBear.ai and former Acting U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, announced the news at the Global AI Show.
He highlighted the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as a global leader in using advanced artificial intelligence to enable smooth, efficient travel and trade.
“At BigBear.ai, we share the UAE’s ambition and bias for action, bringing to the table deep experience supporting government and commercial partners in the U.S. We are honored to be opening our first Middle East office here and look forward to working together over the coming years,” said Kevin McAleenan, CEO of BigBear.ai.
McAleenan emphasized in his keynote that BigBear.ai aims to create strong job opportunities for skilled Emirati professionals while building a diverse and high-performing team.
McAleenan continued, “My experience at DHS and leading one of the world’s most advanced domestic security organizations taught me that being first in technological transformation gives you momentum, but follow-through is what really delivers enduring strategic advantage. The promise of AI only matters if you also bring serious focus on execution. We intend to bring that know-how to bear for our partners in business and government in the UAE and beyond.”
