Oman Air has announced the appointment of Asma Humaid Al Ghabshi as executive vice president for human resources.

Al Ghabshi brings with her wide international experience as well as an energetic spirit and determination to inspire the younger generation of men and women at Oman Air to work hard on their personal development and the success of the airline.

Commenting on this appointment, Oman Air CEO Paul Gregorowitsch said: “We are very proud to welcome Asma as our new executive vice president for HR. Her vast international experience and desire to introduce new staff-friendly HR initiatives is certain to not only yield great results, but inspire all our employees to achieve their full potential.”

Having graduated with a degree in English Language and Literature from the Sultan Qaboos University in Muscat, Al Ghabshi worked for Shell for 14 years in Oman, Qatar, Egypt and the Netherlands. During her time there, she had an incredibly positive impact on the company by undertaking a number of different roles within HR.

My advice to them is to work hard and make it their mission to do their best so they can be proud of what they achieve and deliver. Being motivated and ready to challenge yourself is the best recipe to succeed. As a woman, I believe that the work you do is far more important than what gender you are. Both men and women can certainly reach their potential when they strive to do so.” - TradeArabia News Service
