Bord's Management Style and Upcoming Challenges
Hamid Bord is considered an experienced manager in the oil industry and has managed the National Iranian Oil Company for the past two years. During his management in various operational and managerial sectors, he has gained a close understanding of the structure of the National Iranian Oil Company and the executive issues of this industry.
