Etisalat Group has appointed Ahmed Mohammed Alhosani as its acting CEO in Etisalat Afghanistan and Ahmed Khalfan Al Mutawa as chief financial officer for Etisalat Zantel, Tanzania.

The appointments are in line with Etisalat’s strategy to develop UAE nationals’ skills and provide them with the opportunities to manage international projects, a statement from the company said.
