Tao joined Oman Cement Company in September 2025 and has held several operational leadership responsibilities. He was appointed Acting CEO effective November 30, 2025, following the termination of Zhu Yaping, whose services ended on the same date as the company sought executive leadership aligned with its strategic plans.

Before taking on the acting CEO role, Tao served as Chief Operating Officer, overseeing the operational performance of the company’s cement manufacturing business. His responsibilities included plant operations, production processes, quality control, supply chain management, maintenance and safety, with a focus on operational efficiency, cost management and regulatory compliance.

He holds a master’s degree in Business Engineering and Project Management from Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers in France and a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from Wuhan University of Technology in China.

The appointment places an executive with experience in cement manufacturing and operational management at the helm of Oman Cement as the company continues to pursue its strategic priorities.
