With Gezgin’s appointment, the company planned to deepen collaboration between the META regional hub and Qatar operations, ensuring greater agility, customer satisfaction, and unified service delivery.
NTT DATA Business Solutions, one of the world’s top IT and digital-transformation providers, strengthened its leadership position in the Middle East, Türkiye, and Africa (META) region with the appointment of Serhat Gezgin as Managing Director for Qatar, effective July 1, 2025. The strategic leadership move reinforced the company’s commitment to driving digital transformation, cloud innovation, AI adoption, and data-driven growth across Qatar’s rapidly evolving digital economy.
Gezgin, who already served as Managing Director of Business Services, took on expanded responsibilities to lead the Qatar market, aligning with NTT DATA’s mission to support enterprises with SAP solutions, Microsoft technologies, cloud-first architectures, AI, and analytics-powered operations.
NTT DATA said the appointment demonstrated its long-term commitment to building a stronger regional leadership framework that meets the rising digital needs of Qatari organizations. The company aims to help local enterprises enhance operational efficiency, accelerate innovation, and embrace sustainable growth through advanced IT modernization initiatives.
Dr. Bahri Danış, Executive Vice President for NTT DATA Business Solutions META, said the company was fully committed to supporting Qatar’s transformation roadmap. “With Serhat Gezgin at the helm, we will empower Qatari enterprises with world-class AI, cloud, and data-analytics solutions. Our goal is to unlock new levels of digital excellence and operational efficiency across Qatar,” he said.
Qatar’s Digital Transformation Market Experienced Strong Growth Momentum
Gezgin noted that Qatar had become one of the fastest-evolving digital markets in the region, driven by its Vision 2030 goals and national digital-economy strategy. According to industry reports, Qatar’s digital-transformation market was projected to reach USD 9.19 billion in 2025, growing at a 16.4% CAGR through 2030. The broader IT services sector was expected to achieve USD 2.31 billion in additional growth by 2029, supported by 99% internet penetration and a highly connected population.
“Qatar is a market of high ambition and rapid change. Our priority is to partner with local organizations to deliver scalable, future-ready solutions aligned with Qatar Vision 2030. Together, we will build measurable business value — not just implement technology projects ,” Gezgin said.
Driving META Regional Synergies and Sustainable Enterprise Growth
The leadership enhancement aligned with NTT DATA’s broader strategy to strengthen its META regional model and deliver consistent quality and innovation across markets. The company continued to invest heavily in human capital development, cloud transformation, AI solutions, cybersecurity, SAP modernization, and digital-experience platforms, positioning itself as a trusted partner for intelligent business transformation.
NTT DATA Business Solutions has long served organizations across the Middle East and Africa through its expertise in SAP, Microsoft, data analytics, process automation, and cloud migration, enabling companies to reimagine business processes and achieve sustainable growth.
