Doha: Ooredoo Group has appointed Khalid Hassan Al Hamadi as Chief Executive Officer of Ooredoo Maldives. Former MD and CEO, Najib Khan, to join the Ooredoo Group team in a new role.

Al Hamadi joined Ooredoo in 2010, where he was most recently Senior Director Consumer Sales, achieving substantial revenue for the company and significantly enhancing digital sales. He is an EFQM certified assessor and has played a key role in conducting internal and external assessments for Ooredoo, and developing several systems such as KPI monitoring and handling corporate studies for the entire organisation. He was a Board member of Ooredoo Maldives from 2017 to 2021.

The appointment of Al Hamadi aligns with the core element of Ooredoo Group’s corporate strategy, which includes a firm commitment to investing in its people and recruiting, training and developing the next generation of talent from within its markets.   Furthermore, Al Hamadi joins a growing stable of Qatari leaders who are making their mark across the Doha-based Ooredoo Group’s global footprint. A raft of C-suite appointments in recent years has seen a significant number of Qataris taking up senior leadership positions, both at Ooredoo Group and across its operating companies.  

Aziz Aluthman Fakhroo, Managing Director, Ooredoo Group, said: “I am delighted to announce the appointment of Khalid Hassan Al Hamadi as CEO of Ooredoo Maldives, following an already impressive career within the Group. I also take this opportunity to thank Najib Khan, who will now join the Group team, for his great achievements during his years of service as MD and CEO of Ooredoo Maldives.
