US-based Personnel Decisions International (PDI), a global human resources consulting firm, has opened an office in Abu Dhabi.

Headed by Alberto De Biasi, the Abu Dhabi office will expand PDI’s presence in the Middle East and allow for superior service to PDI’s customers around the globe.

“This expansion is the logical next step in a long and successful relationship with a number of our Middle East clients. We believe that we can best serve our clients when we are with them in the communities they call home,” said said Klaus Schuler, PDI Europe-Middle East-Africa senior vice president.

De Biasi, who will lead the Abu Dhabi office as general manager, is a PDI veteran with a decade of consulting experience and a broad background in human resources.

“PDI has an international reputation for offering real expertise in helping clients gain a leadership advantage over their competitors.” said De Biasi. “And I’m looking forward to enhancing our Middle East presence.”

“Alberto’s background in working with large multinational companies and his ability to develop strong relationships with his clients gives us the confidence that he will enable many long-term benefits in the Middle East,” Schuler said.

PDI has served a portfolio of leading organisations in the Middle East for over a decade.
