Kuwaiti telecom firm Zain reshuffled its management and has appointed a new chief financial officer after completing the sale of most of its African assets.

Zain named Ossama Matta as the chief financial officer, Barrak al-Sabeeh as the chief operating officer and Haitham al-Khaled as the chief technology officer, the company said in a statement on Thursday.

Previously all of them held different posts at the company, the statement added.

Zain, which closed the sale of its African assets to India's Bharti Airtel in a $9 billion deal on Tuesday, is overhauling management in line with its new strategy to concentrate on Middle East operations.
