Saudization Considerations
The AEI-appointed Interim General Manager does not count toward your Saudization (Nitaqat) quota. This provides flexibility for your organization to plan and implement its long-term Saudization strategy independently, without impact from the interim arrangement.
Transition to Your Permanent General Manager
Once your company is fully incorporated and operational, AEI supports a smooth transition from the interim GM to your permanent General Manager, whether local or expatriate.
