This week’s Thursday Morning Conversation (TMC) goes all the way to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to talk to Masood Mahmood, the CEO of Yahsat, one of the most influential satellite operators in the Middle East. In this wide-ranging conversation, we talk about everything from life under lockdown in the UAE, which sports documentaries have been popular in the Mahmood household, as well as what is next for Yahsat as it continues on its growth path.
