A delegation representing the prestigious Stanford Graduate School of Business of the US visited the Qtel headquarters, to learn about one of Qatar’s most dynamic companies. 

 

Dr. Nasser Marafih, CEO of the Qtel Group, outlined the Qtel Group’s impressive progress from being a single-country operator with fewer than 500,000 customers in 2005, through to being the regional leader it is today, with more than 82 million customers and presence in 17 countries. 

 

He also examined the challenges and opportunities facing the communications sector in 2012, and discussed the Qtel Group’s strategy for staying ahead of changing industry trends.
