SDG Group, global management consulting organization, today announced the set up of SDG Mediterranean and Emerging Markets (SDG MEM Ltd.). Based in Nicosia, Cyprus, the new subsidiary will enhance SDG's mission to support private and government organizations in one of Europe's most economically dynamic areas.

The new office will leverage Cyprus's high-quality local network to facilitate SDG's expertise and capabilities in supporting the Mediterranean area. In addition to the existing offices in Italy, France, Spain and Portugal, with SDG MEM, the Group achieves the largest presence that offers its management consulting and performance management expertise to clients in the Mediterranean area.
    
"The Cyprus office reflects our deep commitment in growing and expanding in the global market" said Luca Quagini, President and CEO of SDG Group. "The business opportunities in the Mediterranean region have been growing tremendously and we want to seize the moment to play as a strategic partner for the organizations in this market. Cyprus’s geographical position offers the ideal hub for our expansion, providing a privileged way toward the Mediterranean, the Gulf area and Africa.”

“The opening of the Cypriot company is a great and exciting challenge” said Nicos Pissarides, SDG MEM Country Manager. “This operation will help us to introduce innovative Performance Management practices and cutting edge Business Intelligence solutions for our existing and potential clients”.

After the recent acquisition of Primal Management Solutions and the expansion in the Iberian market, the opening of the Nicosia office marks another milestone in SDG's history. The SDG Group foundation dates back to 1994 in Milan, Italy. Since the beginning, the business community identified SDG as a growing leader in providing Business Intelligence expertise through a combination of management consulting capabilities focused on the design and implementation of decision support systems and IT skills. The Group strategy proved to be successful and led to the opening of new business locations in Europe (Rome, Verona, London, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Lisbon) and in the USA (Boston).
