The new CEO brings extensive multi market industry and leadership experience, holding key technical and management roles within the Etisalat Group for 17 years.
With this new appoint, Alkaabi will lead the next phase of growth and innovation for Etisalat Lanka, a network that has an over 25 year legacy in the country's mobile telecommunication industry.
Commenting on the new appointment, Alkaabi said, “We have a lot of opportunity and a lot of potential. We belong to the Etisalat Group, which has tremendous industry expertise.
