Erik Aas new CEO of Banglalink
Erik Aas will take charge as the chief executive officer of Banglalink on Sunday, replacing Ziad Shatara.
Shatara will leave Bangladesh on Monday, according to a letter he sent to Tarana Halim, the state minister for telecom, yesterday.
Aas, a Norwegian, was in Bangladesh earlier, as the CEO of Grameenphone from October 2004 to October 2007. He then left to join a mobile operator in Indonesia as its top executive.
Shatara began his three-year stint with Banglalink, the second largest mobile phone operator in Bangladesh, in January 2013.
He may take over as the CEO of a telecom operator in Jordan, sources said. In Shatara's time, Banglalink launched 3G services, expanding significantly in the last two years.
