About

Vodafone Qatar turned on its network in March 2009 and, now into its eighth year of operations, its growth plan continues alongside solid revenue postings for 2017 so far. Matthew Osborne, who supplies investor relations and company secretarial expertise to the business alongside being director of legal and regulatory, made the move to Vodafone Qatar in 2011 after serving as general counsel of the telecoms firm’s Irish operation for five years. Having already proven his expertise in Ireland, Osborne continued in this vein as soon as he moved to Qatar, presiding over a significant growth in revenue share of the company during the course of his tenure. On top of this, he had a major part to play in regulatory negotiation relating to areas the company was looking to expand in, successfully securing potential revenue streams in the process, and took care of pressing litigation matters for the company. All the while, Osborne undertook initiatives that reduced costs company-wide, providing excellent value add to the business in the process.
