Jones Group Middle East

Jones Group Middle East (JGME), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JGI, provides strategic advisory to guide national security and defense transformation to U.S. allies and partners in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Based in Riyadh, the company employs over 70 people living full time in the MENA region.

International cooperation and strong relationships among allies are necessary to effectively combat terrorist, disrupt organized crime networks, and bring stability and respect for rule of law to a volatile MENA region. Working in lockstep with U.S. interests, JGME seeks to reassure and support allies by helping them improve their security and generate tangible societal improvement. 

JGME engagements have included major defense transformation initiatives, national security projects, management consulting and leadership advisory. The Riyadh-based team boasts unparalleled experience in Middle Eastern and North African foreign policy, military and security issues, while maintaining the ability to bring in JGI’s stateside senior leaders as well as JGI’s bench of more than 300 defense and national security experts.

Our Capabilities

Defense Transformation

Given that security is a precursor to economic prosperity and the proliferation of American values, military transformation and modernization are critically important tools for furthering the interests of the U.S. and its allies.

Economic Development and Growth

We believe aiding in the economic development, growth and strength of our partners, allies and their businesses is ultimately a key part of U.S. national defense.

National Security

JGI understands that a nation’s security depends on more than its military’s ability to defend territory. It requires a multifaceted approach tying together good government, commercial and international engagement, infrastructure security and economic strength.
