HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai issued a decree appointing Hala Badri, Executive Vice President, Brand and Communications, du, as a Dubai Media Incorporated (DMI) board member.
On behalf of my colleagues at du, I would like to congratulate Hala on her new appointment. Hala has proved a vital member of our team at du since 2006, and our Brand and Communications department has flourished under her guidance. She has won several awards, both for herself and for her work with du, and is a proven advocate of initiatives to further improve Emirati society, said Osman Sultan, CEO du.
Commenting on her appointment, Badri said, It is an honour to have been selected by HH Sheikh Mohammed for this role. I am both proud and appreciative of this opportunity to represent Emirati women on the DMI board, and I look forward to working with my fellow board members. My time with du has given me the opportunity to prove myself, and the experience to make a difference in my newly appointed position.
In a further development, Badri was announced as GEMAS Marketer of the Year at the GEMAS Effie MENA Awards 2012 ceremony, held earlier this month. Badri was awarded for her demonstration of leadership excellence, personable nature, and the results of the campaigns she has spearheaded for du.
The timeliness of Hala receiving the GEMAS Marketer of the Year Award is impeccable. Being awarded this additional honour further validates her suitability as a member of the DMI board, and as our Vice President of Brand and Communications, added Sultan.
