Al Shamsi began his career with Etisalat spanning nearly three decades and has a proven track record in telecom and digital services backed by a solid commercial and technical background. He has had a solid hand in Etisalat’s first move into growing digital adjacencies, leading the deployment of mobile services, fibre-based broadband and advanced data services.
