Ooredoo board announces organisational restructuring; appoints Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad bin Nasser al-Thani as new group regional CEO for Middle East

Ooredoo announced Monday the appointment of Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad bin Nasser al-Thani as Group regional CEO for the Middle East, effective December 16, 2024.

As part of Ooredoo Group's organisational restructuring, the roles of Group Chief Corporate Affairs officer and Deputy Group CEO have been eliminated.

The new structure introduces two Group Regional CEO positions, each responsible for a specific region.

Sheikh Nasser will oversee operations in Kuwait, Oman, and Iraq, while the current Group Regional CEO for North Africa and Asia, Ahmad Abdulaziz al-Neama, will continue to oversee operations in Tunisia, Algeria, Indonesia, Maldives, and Palestine.

Sheikh Nasser brings over 20 years of experience, 15 of which are within Ooredoo. Most recently, he served as the Group Chief Corporate Affairs officer.

Prior to this, Sheikh Nasser was Chief Commercial officer at Ooredoo Qatar, where he oversaw the B2B, B2C, and the Marketing units. Previously, he was Chief Business officer at Ooredoo Qatar, responsible for end-to-end profit and loss accountability for Ooredoo Qatar’s B2B portfolio, including Connectivity, ICT, Mega Projects, and the Qatar Data Centre.

Sheikh Faisal bin Thani al-Thani, chairman, Ooredoo Group, said: “Sheikh Nasser has a proven track record of delivering excellence and driving growth within Ooredoo. His deep understanding of our operations, coupled with his strategic vision, positions him perfectly to lead the next phase of our regional growth and transformation. We are confident his leadership will further strengthen Ooredoo’s position as a digital enabler in our markets.”

Ooredoo's board of directors and management extend their best wishes to Sheikh Nasser in his new role.
