Sheikh Nasser bin Faisal bin Khalifa Al Thani assumed his position as the Director General of Al Jazeera Media Network, on the first of September 2025, embarking on efforts to develop the Network further and reinforce its leadership on both regional and international stages. His vision is centred on building a dynamic media organisation that brings together robust professionalism, editorial independence, and technological innovation.
Sheikh Nasser Al Thani has extensive expertise in institutional and strategic management, having held senior leadership roles at Barwa Real Estate and the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At these organisations, he led several development initiatives, built cross-border partnerships, and strengthened governance, contributing to significant transformations within the institutions.
In the years preceding his leadership of Al Jazeera Media Network, Sheikh Nasser remained close to the Network's top management, working alongside the Chairman of Al Jazeera's Board for nearly 5 years, which gave him experience and insight into the Network's operations.
Over the coming years, Sheikh Nasser aims to drive the Network's transformation to keep pace with the rapid changes in the global media landscape, while preserving Al Jazeera's enduring legacy as a distinguished media institution that values truth and promotes professionalism, independence, and innovation.
