Manx Telecom has appointed Hugo van Zyl to the role of Chief Technology Officer.

 

Hugo joins Manx Telecom from his native South Africa where he has held a number of managerial and senior leadership positions, including Chief Technology and Systems Officer with Telkom’s wholesale and networks division, Openserve and, most recently, Managing Executive for Mobile Networks in Telkom’s consumer division.

 

Similar to Manx Telecom, Telkom is the incumbent telecommunications company in South Africa and Hugo has been part of the leadership team that has seen the organisation transition from an engineering-led business to become a more customer-focused company. 

 

“I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to gain an end-to-end view of telecoms networks and operations which will be very useful in my new role at Manx Telecom,” said Hugo.

“I have already been impressed with the culture of the business here, its technical capabilities and its commitment to being part of the local community.

 

“I feel energized about opportunities for the Island’s future and how Manx Telecom can continue to deliver excellent communications and connectivity for the Island’s residents and businesses.”
