About

Heading legal, HR and administrative functions, Eman Ahmed was at the pinnacle of Mena Telecom’s WIMAX network launch, which transformed Bahrain’s telecommunications industry in 2010. ‘We instigated the breaking of monopoly on access to international IP connectivity’, Ahmed says. ‘The competition that was created as a result has brought connectivity access prices down by over 1000% in the last five years. We are very proud of the impact that increased internet penetration has had on the Kingdom and on its GDP’. Ahmed established the company’s legal function from scratch. Her cross-departmental role has made her central to all business strategy and operations. ‘My experience as a legal support resource has made me a much better problem-solver than I once was’, she says. ‘I now enjoy the comfort of understanding that every problem has a solution which is equal and proportionate to the sum of all the problem’s components’.
