Her deep understanding of the organisation's values, sense of responsibility, and resilience have equipped her to lead the group during this transitional period.
The statement further said, "Afroza Shahin's strength, dedication, and alignment with the company's vision will drive TEAM Group to new heights."
The Board of Directors has urged all stakeholders to work in unison under her leadership to continue the company's forward momentum.
