StrategEast President also met with Huda Al Ghabshi, Head of Data & Connectivity, and Fahad Al-Harthy, Senior Lead for Hyperscalers & Global Accounts at Zain Omantel International (ZOI), to explore opportunities for cooperation. Another key discussion took place with Rebecca Olson, CEO of AmCham Oman, focusing on ways to attract more U.S.-based engineering companies to Oman, with the twin goals of nurturing local talent and boosting the country’s IT exports.
