In this newly expanded role, Nidal will oversee Kyndryl’s business in the Kingdom and strengthen its contribution to Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation under Vision 2030, while continuing his current responsibilities as Kyndryl’s Chief Technology Officer and Delivery Leader for the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region.

Before joining Kyndryl, he held senior roles at IBM, including MEA Chief Technology Officer, Solution Director, and Chief Architect, where he partnered with leading financial services, energy, and government organisations to modernise mission-critical systems.
“I’m honoured to take on this expanded mandate at such a pivotal time for the Kingdom,” said Nidal Azba. “Saudi Arabia is advancing rapidly in its digital transformation journey, and I look forward to working closely with Kyndryl’s customers, partners, and the broader ecosystem to help them modernise mission-critical systems, unlock innovation, and build resilient, future-ready operations.”
“By appointing Nidal to lead our Saudi business, we are combining deep technical expertise with trusted leadership,” said Pieter Bil, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Kyndryl MEA. “This move strengthens our ability to deliver transformative outcomes at scale and reinforces our commitment to the Kingdom and its Vision 2030 ambitions.”
