EcoOnline has announced its latest appointment of Nicholas Matta as its new Regional Director for the Middle East, reinforcing its expansion into the region.

The company states that Matta brings deep experience across the Middle East in:
- Environment
- Health and Safety (EHS)
- Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
His background includes experience in project delivery and commercial leadership. He also offers a holistic view of how organisations approach risk, compliance and transformation.
Matta formerly worked in leadership at Enablon, where he is known for building strong, culturally aligned relationships across the region.
According to the company, in his new role at EcoOnline, he will lead partner engagement, customer adoption and market success in the Middle East, while overseeing business development in the Benelux region.
“Lasting impact at every level”
Matta commented on his appointment: “I am proud to be part of EcoOnline’s journey in the fast-growing Middle East region.
“There is a clear opportunity to close market gaps in areas like lone worker protection and chemical safety — challenges that are too often overlooked despite their risk.
“EcoOnline is uniquely positioned to address these needs with intuitive, people-centered solutions that deliver lasting impact at every level of an organisation,” he concluded.
Safe, sustainable and compliant
The company states that the Middle East is undergoing rapid industrial and economic transformation.
Since Vision 2030 launched in 2016, Saudi Arabia has seen a 60% rise in industrial facilities with the IMF forecasting a cumulative 6.7% economic growth over the next two years.
EcoOnline highlight that as infrastructure and energy projects accelerate and local workforces expand under nationalisation programmes like Saudisation, the need for safe, sustainable and compliant operations is increasing.
Core sectors such as construction, manufacturing and energy face mounting pressure to meet international standards, not only in sustainability reporting but also in frontline risk management.
“A safer, more sustainable world of work”
Gareth Palmer, SVP Channel & Alliances commented: “The Middle East is at a critical inflection point with ambitious national agendas driving industrial growth and employment.
“We see a clear opportunity and responsibility to help companies build a safer, more sustainable world of work.”
Palmer continued: “By combining local expertise with a global partner ecosystem, we can support organisations navigating this transformation — not just with technology, but with long-term, trust-based collaboration.”
Expansion
According to the company, EcoOnline is already gaining traction in the Middle East through collaborations with global partners such as DSS+, VPWhite and WSP.
The expansion builds on EcoOnline’s strong foundation in Europe, North America, ANZ and South Africa.
It reflects an ongoing commitment to supporting high-impact industries with intuitive tools that simplify complexity and improve safety culture, regulatory compliance and environmental performance, the company highlighted.
