Telecom Namibia has appointed Armando Perny as acting chief executive officer of the state-owned company.
This follows on the resignation of Telecom Namibia chief executive Stanley Shanapinda earlier this month.
Perny will assume the role on 1 July for one month while the company’s board of directors recruits a substantive chief executive.
Telecom Namibia board chairperson Fimanekeni Petrus on Monday said Perny’s experience within the company would ensure stability during the transition.
Perny “brings extensive experience and a deep understanding of Telecom Namibia’s operations and strategic priorities”, Petrus said.
He added: “His leadership will ensure continuity and stability as the board undertakes the process of appointing a substantive CEO.”
Petrus said said the board has full confidence in Perny’s ability to lead the company during the interim period and maintain its focus on serving customers and stakeholders.
Petrus also announced the resignations of the company’s chief commercial officer and chief financial officer.
He said the chief commercial officer’s resignation takes effect on 30 June, while the chief financial officer will leave office on 30 September.
“The board of directors and executive management acknowledge these resignations and extend their sincere appreciation to the executives for their leadership, dedication and contribution to the company,” Petrus said.
He said interim arrangements for the vacant executive positions will be announced in due course.
