Etisalat appoints new head of Asia
Etisalat Telecommunication said it has appointed a top executive as its new chief regional officer for Asia, in the latest reshuffle at the former monopoly. “That’s correct,” Jamal al Jarwan said when asked if he had become Etisalat’s head of Asia operations, a newly created role. “I have already started.” Jarwan was formerly chief international investments officer.
Etisalat is active in 18 countries across Asia, Africa and the Middle East and analysts now expect it will create similar roles as Jarwan’s for the other two. Etisalat’s African operations include licences in Egypt, Nigeria and Tanzania, while Asia includes India, Pakistan and Indonesia. The firm’s footprint may be broad but it remains heavily dependent on its home market, with the United Arab Emirates providing three-quarters of revenue in the third quarter.
