As former Senior Manager on the MBC project, which had previously been served by Aperto, Baldé has over ten years of experience in the management of global IT projects. "Here in Dubai, we want to work closely with clients and help realise high-quality internet projects for their organisations. The outstanding success of the project we accomplished for MBC Group is a testimonial of the value we can provide to clients in this region," says Baldé.

"We believe in the integration of media and technological innovation", says Jesus Blanco, CEO of Emicom Media. "As the relationship between visual content and media is of an increasingly symbiotic nature, it is ultimately the technology that decides how content is demanded, distributed and used around the world. The new venture between Emicom Media and Aperto, which has resulted in the formation of Aperto Middle East, has an unrivalled depth of resources employable to meet the creative and technological requirements of our clients in the region. We are thrilled to partner with Aperto, an-award-winning group of international renown, recognised for their state-of-the-art services, quality standards and reliability", says Blanco.
