"This brings back Digital Gurus to a market that it is recognised in and respected. Under the stewardship of Mitchell and the UMATR group, the market sees the return of a premium brand. It was crucial to me that if Digital Gurus was to return it was with a company and a leader who would do it justice. Anyone who has worked with the UMATR group knows this to be the case. I look forward to candidates, customers and consultants all benefitting from the return of the brand to this region. I’m personally delighted."

Mitchell Franklin

Founder of UMATR Group
and Managing Director of Digital Gurus MENA.

"DG is uniquely positioned to offer something new to the MENA region: an agency that solely focuses on Product Management and Product Design. These skillsets are two of the most impactful in a tech business and are also among the hardest to navigate.

I joined Digital Gurus MENA after spending 8 years building product teams for some of the most exciting tech brands and hottest start-ups in Europe. I am bringing that experience to a brand that has been recognized in this space for the same amount of time, and I have no doubt that we will make a real difference to our candidates and clients.

Nothing is more important than the people we work with, and my approach has always been community-first, something that I will be focusing on here! I am excited to lead this brand and can’t wait to see what we achieve alongside the UMATR Group."
