God too need Best people!

His business strategy to promote Vodafone in Qatar and compete with Qtel was commendable; we will miss a great entrepreneur.

It's really sad, although I've never met him, I know alot of the staff at Vodafone in QSTP are really upset and in tears, it shows they all thought alot of him too..

RIP...I hope his family find the strength to support one another through this difficult time.

We can recall that he created healthy competition and helped the expatriate community by reducing the ISD rates which was about 4 QR and now only 0.55 QR. The credit goes to him.

Condolence to his family.

Yes he is a humble and down to earth person. I can't believe that he is the CEO of Vodafone when for the first time I meet him at Vodafone Shop Landmark in Oct and we have a chat. Can we propose him to be nominated as a CEO of the year?

Condolence to his family.

May God rest his soul. He was liked & respected not only by his employees , but also from everyone ever worked with him in both Government & private sector

VFQ would have not made it here, if it wasn’t for his dedication in what he did
