Mobile Telecommunications Company Saudi Arabia’s (Zain KSA) board of directors appointed Kamil Hilali as a non-executive member of the board, effective today, Dec. 7, 2020.

The company said in a statement to Tadawul that the appointment is pending the approval of the general assembly.

Hilali was appointed as Chief Strategy Officer of Zain Group in March 2018 and was responsible for the development and implementation of ‘4Sight’ strategy that has seen the company transform from being mobile-centric to a digital service provider.

He joined Zain Group in 2011 as corporate finance and business planning director and later headed the company’s mergers & acquisitions.

Prior to joining Zain Group, Hilali worked at North Africa Holding Co., a private equity affiliate of KIPCO Group, and JP Morgan Chase & Co. in the United States.

The board of directors also accepted the resignation of Scott Marc Gegenheimer, a non-executive board member, citing personal reasons, effective from Dec. 6, 2020.
