During his ten-year career with Portugal Telecom, Zeinal Bava contributed decisively to the development of PT’s national and international business activities, as he became the youngest chief executive officer of the largest company in Portugal and one of the youngest in Europe.

Zeinal’s career is inevitably coincident with PT’s evolution. He was determinant in business development overseas; he conducted and worked with teams from the main business areas: PT.com, PT Comunicações, PT Multimedia and TMN. He participated in projects which are now key growth tools, such as for example PT PRO, a company aggregating all backoffice and support services of PT Group, which recently started delivering services to third parties. As chief executive officer, Zeinal promotes daily a culture of demand as he envisages the creation of a modern, agile and permanently innovative communications group.

Prior to joining PT, Zeinal served as managing director of Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Morgan Grenfell and Warburg Dillon Read banks. Holding a solid experience in the financial sector, he is recognised in international financial markets as one of the best in this industry.

Zeinal holds a degree in electrical and electronic engineering from University College London. His engineering training together with an operational approach to each business and an excellent financial expertise enable him a comprehensive view of the reality of PT group’s activity.
