Ooredoo has announced the launch of Al Abraj, the standalone company that will independently operate and manage Ooredoo Qatar’s passive tower infrastructure assets in the country. Ooredoo has also announced the appointment of Khalid Barzak as General Director of Al Abraj.
The launch follows the receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals in Qatar, including approval from the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA), and marks the first operational carve-out under Ooredoo’s TowerCo initiative, a key part of Ooredoo’s broader portfolio optimisation strategy.
Khalid brings more than two decades of leadership experience, including 16 years in the telecommunications sector. During his time at Ooredoo Group, he has held a number of senior leadership positions spanning telecommunications, digital services, investments and partnerships. He played a key role in driving the growth and turnaround of Ooredoo’s digital services and partnerships businesses, which today represent a meaningful contributor to Group profitability.
In his new role, Khalid will lead Al Abraj through its next phase of development, focusing on operational excellence, value creation and supporting the long-term growth of Ooredoo’s tower infrastructure platform.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, Ooredoo extends its sincere thanks to the various regulatory authorities in Qatar for their support throughout the approval process.
The Board also congratulates Khalid on his appointment and wishes him every success in his new role.
