Tragic for the industry in UAE, local management who lack the experience and talent of Mr. Wood. And I write this as a competitor.

Feel sorry more for Al Barq Digital, they were actually moving in the right direction in the market. With Andrew Wood leaving, their loosing some visionary leadership, and that of one who could change the Out of Home landscape in MENA. I have worked with him at Al Barq Digital, and wish him nothing but the best. It’s Abu Dhabi Media’s loss, not anyone else. Their loosing some essential talent and strong management experience that is much needed
