PwC appoints Faisal Al Sarraj as Country Senior Partner for Saudi Arabia
PwC has appointed Faisal Al Sarraj as its next Country Senior Partner for Saudi Arabia. Succeeding Riyadh Al-Najjar, he has been tasked with leading the firm’s next chapter in the kingdom.
Faisal Al Sarraj is a leader with 27 years of experience, including 17 years in consulting and 10 years in the banking sector. He has been with PwC since 2010, most recently serving as Deputy Country Senior Partner.
Throughout his career, Al Sarraj has advised government entities, financial institutions and leading organisations, supporting many of the Kingdom’s strategic priorities. He is recognised by PwC’ers and his clients for building trusted relationships, bringing together multidisciplinary teams and developing Saudi talent.
Prior to joining the Big Four firm, Al Sarraj worked at leading banking institutions including Arab National Bank and Samba Financial Group.
Commenting on his appointment, Al Sarraj said: “I’m honoured to step into this role, and I’d like to thank Riyadh for his leadership and the strong foundation he has built over the years. Our people, our capabilities and our long-standing commitment to the Kingdom provide a strong foundation for the future.”
“Saudi Arabia’s transformation continues to create extraordinary opportunities. It is a privilege to lead our business in the Kingdom, working alongside exceptional colleagues to support our clients as they navigate change, seize new opportunities and contribute to the ambitions of Vision 2030.”
Next chapter of growth
Building on the firm’s Regional Headquarters in Riyadh, Al Sarraj said the firm will continue to develop and expand its capabilities across the kingdom. Through investments in its people, technology, regional capabilities and innovation, including its Experience Centre, the firm is helping organisations solve increasingly complex challenges and deliver outcomes that matter in a rapidly evolving business landscape.

He has earned the trust of our clients and people through his leadership, deep understanding of the Kingdom, and commitment to developing local talent.”
“As Saudi Arabia continues its remarkable transformation, I am confident he will build on our strong foundation, strengthen collaboration across our firm and help us deliver even greater impact for our clients and the kingdom.”
