September 13 2024 - 10:00AM
Amsterdam, 13 September 2024 – VEON Ltd. (Nasdaq:
VEON, Euronext Amsterdam: VEON), a global digital operator that
provides connectivity and online services, is delighted to announce
that Omiyinka Doris, VEON’s Group General Counsel, has been named
by the Financial Times (FT) as one of the world’s top 15 in-house
legal leaders in FT’s annual list.
The FT annual list of the world’s top company
lawyers highlights the achievements of senior in-house lawyers who
have excelled at responding to changing demands and needs within
their respective sectors and navigating geopolitical
complexities.
“Omiyinka leads our legal team with an
incredible determination and professionalism; and has been key to
VEON’s track record of ensuring that we deliver on our obligations
to all our stakeholders including regulators and investors,”
says Kaan Terzioglu, Group CEO of VEON. “We cordially
congratulate her for this important recognition by the FT. We are
excited to continue working with her and our Legal team as VEON’s
strategy and equity story evolves in directions that set the bar
even higher for our Group – a leading provider of digital services
and a Nasdaq-listed, high-growth company that is an exciting
opportunity for investors world-wide.”
Omiyinka and the VEON legal team played a
pivotal role in VEON’s transition into its current profile as a
high-growth digital operator that serves emerging markets following
the Group’s exit from Russia, and in its decision to continue
serving Ukraine. In the 2024 edition of its prestigious list, the
Financial Times highlighted Omiyinka’s leadership in ensuring the
Group’s compliance with its obligations to its stakeholders and
securing the seven licenses VEON received from five different
jurisdictions to ensure a complete exit from Russia.
Omiyinka joined VEON in 2015 as Deputy General
Counsel for SEC/Disclosure, Finance and Governance. In 2022, she
was appointed as the Acting Group General Counsel and a member of
the Group Executive Committee (GEC), and has served as Group
General Counsel and a member of the GEC since 2023. She holds
a B.A. magna cum laude from Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges and a
J.D. from Harvard Law School.
