The transition to a new brand also meant transitioning services to new infrastructure, ensuring a stable network with smooth day to day operations, and maintaining revenue generation.

ATOM’s key objective is to transform the lives of people in the country by advancing connectivity and providing access to the digital world. Spearheading this mission is Zia, a true visionary known for taking on leadership roles and driving performance and growth for telecommunications companies.

It was also an extremely challenging environment to operate in due to the complex country situation.

Underpinning this is his peoplefirst approach, which empowers the teams and employees at ATOM. His humble approach has united, empowered and inspired teams within the organization, who were able to overcome any challenges they faced together. Zia has been an inspirational leader, helping and invigorating colleagues so they can envision a brighter future for the organisation. In 2022, some of ATOM and Zia’s major accomplishments have included the successful transition of all services to new vendors, without impacting the network. He was also integral in the creation and introduction of a new brand that resonated with people, engaging 18 million customers. Zia’s effective managing of the workforce meant talent was retained, and a new workplace culture was developed. Impactful community activities were introduced, uplifting more than 200,000 people in Myanmar. ATOM has developed the most advanced telecoms app for customers’ telecommunications and lifestyle needs.
