As part of its ongoing restructuring programme to achieve legal separation as outlined in the fourth National Telecoms Plan, Batelco has announced a number of executive appointments.

Batelco Bahrain will be the entity responsible for the retail and enterprise operation and will further enhance the services and solutions for consumer and business customers with a greater continuous focus on providing digital solutions and delivering an exceptional customer experience.

Mikkel Vinter joins as the CEO for Batelco Bahrain. Among his previous roles, Vinter founded Virgin Mobile, Middle East & Africa in 2006 and served as its chief executive officer until 2016. Prior to setting up Virgin Mobile Middle East & Africa, he held senior roles with Nawras in Oman, TDC in Denmark and Singtel in Singapore.

The newly formed National Broadband Network entity will be responsible for the kingdom’s broadband network and providing telecom services to all licensed operators, in line with the Government policy for developing an advanced digital communication infrastructure in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Mohamed Bubashait takes on the role as CEO of the National Broadband Network. He has lead the separation programme since he joined Batelco as CEO of the Bahrain operation in October 2017, to implement plans for the legal separation of the company.
