Al-Olama said he will focus on the next phase of business transformation for Emirates Post Group. “I am confident that, as a team, we can make a substantial contribution to the diversification of the nation’s knowledge and innovation-based economy, as well as drive sustainable growth towards the next 50 years.

“We will continue to pursue a strategic and innovative approach that embeds a performance excellence mindset to intensify the growth and transformation of Emirates Post Group,” he added.
