Doha: Nehmeh, a leading provider of industrial solutions, has announced the appointment of Raja V. Assili (pictured) as its Chief Executive Officer effective on June 21, 2021.
Assili is a driven senior executive bringing decades of experience to the company and has a proven record. Previously, he was CEO of QIG (a publically listed company) where he led the holding company that oversaw the performance and development of several subsidiaries and new businesses.
Commenting on his appointment, Assili stated: “I’m truly delighted to join an organisation with a distinguished heritage, strong team, and forward-thinking shareholders. I look forward to building upon the tremendous achievements and progress over the last 65 years while preserving the values which have guided Nehmeh since its founding.”
Simon A. Nehme, Chairman of the Board, added: “Raja’s appointment is a clear reflection of the company’s current state - ready to take on the future and fired-up for a strong era of growth and successful projects.
Nehmeh is poised for major expansion in the industrial sector and we’re excited what Raja’s unique experience in multiple sectors and global organisations can bring to our emerging markets.”
