Insights
Anghami refreshes its board, adds KIPCO executives, and names a new Chair linked to its parent group.
These changes increase representation from KIPCO and the broader OSN group within Anghami’s governance structure. Adding Moustapha Chami, a senior finance executive with multiple bank and real estate directorships, may deepen financial oversight and risk management expertise. Bringing in Eman Al Awadhi adds long-standing communications and investor relations experience, which can be useful for capital markets engagement.
The resignation of H.E. Sheikha Adana Nasser Sabah Al-Sabah is explicitly described as not due to disagreement and tied to rebalancing board responsibilities, while she remains Chair of OSN Streaming Limited. Naming Mr. Meshal Abdullah Mohammad Ali, already a director and Interim CEO of OSN Group, as Chairman consolidates leadership alignment between Anghami and its parent. The actual impact for investors will depend on how this board composition shapes strategy and oversight over time.
