Batelco has recently announced the promotion of Sawsan Noor from the Company's Enterprise Division to the post of Head of Government Segment, one of the company's largest segments, which serves a significant number of Batelco's customers.
Sawsan, who has served as Head of Major Accounts and International Business since 2008, has held a number of prominent roles throughout her working career and holds an MBA from the University of Glamorgan in Wales.
'We believe Sawsan has the leadership potential and communication skills required to fill such an influential role,' said her General Manager Dr. Abdulla Al Thawadi.
