Digicel announces new CEO

Digicel has announced the appointment of Alexander Matuschka Greiffenclau as its new group chief executive, effective February 2018.

He will succeed Colm Delves who had signalled his intention to step down from his executive role for personal and family reasons. 

Digicel says Delves will remain as a non-executive director of the company and will also provide advisory services to the Group.    

According to Digicel, under Delves’ leadership, over the past 13 years, Digicel grew from US$478 million in revenues in eight markets to US$2.5 billion across 32 markets.

The new CEO was recently employed at global telecommunications services provider, VEON, where he served as Group Chief Performance Officer since mid-2015. 

He previously served as Chief Transformation Officer at Nokia Networks.
