5Y Technology Expands into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Appoints Samer Sammour as General Manager, KSA

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - November 2025 - 5Y Technology today announced its full operational launch in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, marking a major milestone in the company’s regional growth and long-term commitment to supporting the Kingdom’s digital transformation and Vision 2030 ambitions. As part of this expansion, Samer Sammour has been appointed as General Manager, KSA, following several successful years leading 5Y Technology’s operations in Jordan.

This strategic move strengthens 5Y Technology’s ability to deliver local, high-impact expertise in AI, data governance, interoperability, and value-driven analytics to organisations across the Kingdom.

A New Era of Regional Leadership

As General Manager, KSA, Samer will oversee all in-country operations, regional delivery, and partner relationships, bringing extensive experience in enterprise transformation and public-sector modernisation. During his tenure in Jordan, he built a strong operational capability, led high-complexity transformation programmes, and played a pivotal role in shaping 5Y Technology’s Middle East practice.

“Samer has been instrumental to our growth across the region,” said Jamille Sammour, Co-founder & COO, 5Y Technology. “His promotion recognises his exceptional leadership, deep industry expertise, and proven ability to deliver value at scale. He will play a central role in strengthening our presence and supporting the Kingdom’s bold transformation journey.”

Operational Launch Builds on Strategic MoU with Dar Al Riyadh

The operational expansion follows the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between 5Y Technology and Dar Al Riyadh, a leading engineering, advisory, and project-delivery organisation. The partnership aims to elevate data maturity, strengthen data governance, and accelerate AI-driven innovation across Saudi Arabia’s built environment.

By combining Dar Al Riyadh’s trusted engineering excellence with 5Y Technology’s leadership in modern data practices, both organisations will collaborate to:

• Deliver high-impact data and AI projects across the built environment
• Establish practical, measurable models for data governance and maturity
• Advance trust, interoperability, and lifecycle continuity
• Build national capability and modern digital stewardship

“Partnering with 5Y Technology strengthens our commitment to a sustainable, digitally enabled built environment powered by trustworthy, high-quality data,” said Ammar M. Hajiya, Chief Transformation Officer, Dar Al Riyadh.

Strengthening Local Presence to Support Vision 2030

With its Riyadh office now operational and a strengthened regional team, 5Y Technology is purpose-built to support the Kingdom’s highest-priority organisations, including government ministries, national authorities, giga projects, major developers, engineering firms and critical infrastructure programmes. These organisations are at the forefront of delivering Vision 2030, and each relies on trusted, high-quality data to drive performance, ensure continuity, and enable responsible, scalable AI adoption.

By focusing on the Kingdom’s most strategic public- and private-sector institutions, 5Y Technology will help accelerate data maturity, embed modern governance, and build the capability required to deliver smarter, more efficient and future-ready national outcomes.

“Our operational launch in Saudi Arabia reinforces our long-term commitment to the Kingdom,” said Jamille Sammour. “We are here to build enduring capability, create measurable value, and contribute to the Kingdom’s transformation with trusted, modern data ecosystems.”

A Future Fueled by Innovation and National Capability

“I am honoured to take on the role of General Manager, KSA,” said Samer Sammour. “Saudi Arabia is one of the most exciting and ambitious transformation environments in the world. With our local operations now in place, we are ready to help organisations build the data and AI foundations that will shape a smarter, more innovative future for the Kingdom.”
