Telecom Egypt has appointed Tamer El Mahdi (pictured) as its new CEO and managing director, succeeding Mohamed Nasr. El Mahdi assumed his role effective immediately. His first priority is to appoint replacements for Mohamed Al Fowey, Vice President and Chief Technical Officer, and Ahmed Hassan, Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer - both of whom have also stepped down. From 2014 to 2019, he was Group CEO of Orascom Telecom Media and Technology, where he led the company’s strategic transformation and diversification across multiple industries. He also served as CEO of Orascom Telecom Algeria, the country’s largest mobile operator.
