The US technology firm plans to open a regional headquarters in Riyadh and to hire up to 40 employees by year-end, according to Mohammed Alkhotani, senior vice president of Salesforce Middle East. It recently appointed Ibrahim Alseghayr — a former department head at rival SAP SE — as regional vice president and managing director for Saudi Arabia.
