Ahmad started his career with Qatar Re and has worked in various departments within the QIC Group. Subsequently, Ahmad was promoted to the position of Vice-President for the MENA region and Head of Retail in Qatar.  Through his dedication and commitment, Ahmad was promoted and shifted to QLM Management team.

Speaking about the recent promotions, Khalifa Abdulla Turki Al Subaey, Group President & CEO of QIC Group, said: “I am pleased to announce the recent promotions within the subsidiaries of the QIC Group and extend my heartiest wishes to each of them on their new roles. I am confident that with their combined efforts and capabilities, QIC Group will witness long term growth and sustainability.”

He said: “Technology can support organizational interventions that streamline processes. However, equally critical are people analytics endorsed through talent-review system, and shifts in organizational structure for reinforcing the required changes in sharpening competencies.  

“Given the pace of transformation, adapting systems, processes, and culture that can support change-enabling leadership development is critically important. At Qatar Insurance it is all about nurturing competencies and achieving success by putting together a high performance based group of Qatari youth who are diligent, innovative and result driven.”
