In a landmark move for the region’s technology sector, Lenovo has officially appointed Tareq Alangari as Senior Vice President and President of its Middle East, Türkiye, and Africa (META) business, effective January 5, 2026. Alangari, a seasoned executive and former CEO of e& enterprise Saudi Arabia, becomes one of the first Saudi leaders to spearhead a global tech giant's operations across more than 50 countries. Based in Riyadh’s iconic Al Majdoul Tower, Alangari will oversee Lenovo’s "Hybrid AI" strategy, which integrates cloud-based intelligence with on-device and edge infrastructure to serve a region currently witnessing a 37% surge in data center spending.

This appointment is a core pillar of Lenovo's multibillion-dollar commitment to the Kingdom, highlighted by its strategic partnership with Alat (a PIF-owned company). Central to this expansion is a state-of-the-art 200,000 sqm manufacturing facility in Riyadh, scheduled to begin production of "Saudi Made" laptops, servers, and smartphones later this year. By aligning with national programs like Saudi Vision 2030 and the UAE National Digital Strategy, Lenovo aims to contribute up to $10 billion to Saudi Arabia's non-oil GDP by 2030, transforming the META region from a consumer of global technology into a sovereign hub for AI innovation and high-tech manufacturing.
