Parsons’ Portfolio, Experience, and Strength as a Global Infrastructure Leader Shines as U.S. President Visits Middle East

“Parsons is in the right markets, at the right time, and with the right people, as shown in the Middle East this week,” said Carey Smith, Chair, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Parsons Corporation. “Our continued success across the Middle East is built on the decades-long trust we’ve established with our clients, an understanding of their goals, and our talented workforce’s commitment to delivering results. Supporting our customers throughout the GCC, we are leading some of the most exciting and breakthrough projects in the world today, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence. I’m excited about our strong and increasing presence in the region.”

The President visited the three countries throughout the week, meeting with government and industry leaders and highlighting the strong partnership with the United States. Parsons’ portfolio was acknowledged during the events, including a signing ceremony for Parsons’ selection as the Delivery Partner with two awards for the new King Salman International Airport at the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum in Riyadh on Tuesday.

Smith also attended private CEO roundtables with the President in multiple countries where she emphasized the company’s global portfolio and its critical infrastructure and national security capabilities and met with U.S. and host country delegations and cabinet officials across the week.

With a regional presence since the 1950s, Parsons brings deep domain expertise in the region across project and program management, urban development, transportation (including rail, metro, aviation, roads, and ports), smart mobility, asset management, and master planning. The company has completed thousands of projects in the region since its first work on Dhahran Airport (now known as King Abdulaziz Air Base), in Saudi Arabia in 1958.
