OSN Group has announced the resignation of CEO Joe Kawkabani.
Kawkabani’s tenure, which lasted three years, saw significant strategic developments for the media company.
Earlier this year, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) made a strategic minority investment in OSN Streaming, an OSN Group subsidiary.
In 2024, OSN Group acquired 55.45 per cent of Anghami, merging it with OSN+.
The company also secured long-term partnerships, including an exclusive deal with HBO in 2022.
