In his role, he will work with both regional and global ICT ecosystem partners towards Huawei’s vision to bring digital to every person, home, and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world.

“The Middle East and Africa region is an incredibly dynamic geography. Huawei has been proud to serve governments, telecom operators, enterprises, and consumers here over recent decades,” notes Yi. “Today, national digitization plans around the fourth industrial revolution are truly breathtaking in their scope. With this in mind, Huawei will continue to invest in its partners and its people to serve the businesses of tomorrow, and assist nations in achieving their development visions."

“It all starts with having a customer-centric mindset,” adds Yi. “We must always deliver results while creating the best possible user experience for our customers. Huawei has been doing that successfully for more than 20 years in the region, and is committed to creating further value in a society empowered by connectivity and digital economy.”
