Doha: A new CEO will take charge of Vodafone Qatar from June this year, the company announced yesterday.
Kyle Whitehill (pictured) will take charge of the company from Richard Daly, who will be returning home to the UK for family reasons, according to the company.
Whitehill will join Vodafone Qatar from Ghana, where he has been CEO of the company since 2010.

I am sure that Kyle’s deep experience in enterprise and fixed line services will ensure the continued success of Vodafone in Qatar.”
