Organizations across the Middle East are experiencing a period of rapid urban development and large-scale infrastructure growth. To support the rising demand for modern, cloud-based security in the region, we are excited to announce the opening of a new office in Dubai and the appointment of Fred Crehan as Head of Middle East.
Fred will lead Verkada’s regional growth and build a robust partner ecosystem, ensuring local organizations have the tools they need to protect their people and places with our integrated, AI-powered platform.
"Safety is a top priority in the Middle East, driven by a commitment to world-class tourism and the rapid development of new urban centers. As cloud adoption continues to accelerate, many organizations are looking for modern solutions that can help them overcome traditional resource constraints. Verkada’s platform is uniquely positioned to support government, hospitality, retail, and logistics providers, as well as the large-scale construction and real estate sectors." – Fred Crehan, Head of Middle East at Verkada
Fred brings over 25 years of enterprise technology experience to the team. Most recently, he served at Confluent, where he successfully launched their Dubai office and established a strong regional presence. His deep understanding of the local landscape and proven track record of scaling high-growth businesses make him the ideal leader to bring Verkada’s technology to this market.
