I also extend my heartfelt thanks to Noor for her unwavering dedication, hard work and commitment for excellence, which have been instrumental in driving Ooredoo Oman’s success over the past two years.”
During his tenure as Ooredoo Algeria’s CEO, Bassam successfully steered the company through the challenges of the pandemic and realised great successes, including conducting a major network modernisation project across the country, which led to a significant increase in customer base and a substantial improvement in revenues year on year. Under his leadership, Ooredoo Algeria has also bagged a number of awards, including the ‘Best Exemplary Employer’ accolade for its human resources strategy during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Global Carrier Award in the Best ESG initiative category and many more.
