Gillespies Experience in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 provides the blueprint for the development of a nation moving away from a dependency upon exporting oil into a fully diversified and balanced economy. More than that, it enshrines three themes: a vibrant society, a thriving economy and an ambitious nation with a transformative societal agenda.
