Mobily appoints new HR head

Etisalat Group announced today the appointment of Faiez Awadh as the chief human resources officer of Mobily in Saudi Arabia.

Awadh brings to Mobily over 20 years of experience in human resources, and has a proven track record of effective leadership. He led Etisalat UAE’s HR department from 2009-2012 before joining the HR department of Etisalat Group as senior VP for HR Business Optimisation. In this position he directed and managed local and virtual teams spanning across Etisalat Group operations in the formulation and execution of projects related to human capital strategy, cultural change, global values roll-out, employee engagement, employee relations and international communications.

Last November, Mobily suspended its chief executive Khalid Al-Kaf and put his deputy Serkan Okandan in temporary charge pending an investigation into accounting errors.
