Following Omrania’s restructuring as a limited liability company, the Board of Directors held their first official meeting, laying the foundation for years of continued growth and success. The seven-member Board includes new independent members as well as company partners.
On Thursday, 10 February 2022, Omrania’s new Board of Directors met for the first time since the company’s legal status was changed from a professional engineering company to a limited liability professional engineering company. The change is meant to provide stability and continuity as the firm, founded in 1973, prepares to mark its 50th anniversary and embarks on ambitious projects in the Kingdom and beyond.
The meeting was headed by the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Basem Al-Shihabi, a founding partner of the firm. It was hosted in Omrania’s new engineering offices in the ELITE complex, adjacent to the company’s head offices in the Waha Building in Riyadh.
In all, the Board of Directors now includes three senior partners, three independent members, and the company’s new Chief Executive Officer. The seven members are listed below:
