Dana started her career in corporate sales with MTC Vodafone, where she held the position of Team Leader. Dana comments that this was a demanding role with sales targets and an expectation to manage 24-hour operations.

Dana started to focus on internal and external recruitment, management of organisational structure and various special projects as directed by senior management. Dana was promoted several times from Team Leader to Manager and eventually to Director, HR where Dana reported directly to MTC Vodafone’s CEO.

During her career at MTC Vodafone, Dana became involved in the national Zain Al Shabab youth talent development programme. Dana commented that the programme has enabled more than 2000 Bahraini youths to find a permanent job and hence has been a true highlight of her career.

Dana joined Bapco from MTC Vodafone with several responsibilities that include leadership of the Digital Transformation Strategy alongside accountability for Bapco’s Human Resource Department.

Dana collaborates with the Oil and Gas Academy to screen and recruit the young Bahrainis who have finished their initial training programme at the Academy.

Dana is certified in Management Learning Programmes from the Association for Talent Development, is a Certified Counsellor for the Power of Choice Theory and holds a Level 5 qualification with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.
