MUSCAT: The Board of Directors of OQ, the global integrated energy group of the Sultanate, has announced that Talal bin Hamid al Awfi, Chief Executive – Commercial, will take on the additional role of Group CEO of the wholly government-owned energy conglomerate.
It follows the resignation of incumbent Group CEO Musab al Mahrouqi who leaves the organisation on March 31, 2021.
