Conduct Telecom has named Dimitri Moussa as its new chief operating officer (COO), with the change of guard taking effect immediately.
The company is gearing itself up to roll out last mile fibre in more precincts than ever and, according to the chief executive officer (CEO) Johan Pretorious, Moussa’s expertise is needed to oversee this.
“We required an experienced set of hands to guide us through our next phase of maturity,” he said.
“We have worked with Dimitri on several projects over the last couple of years and we have built a fantastic relationship of trust and respect. We are very pleased indeed to have a man of his capabilities on board.”
Moussa said the appointment was a huge opportunity to get involved in another aspect of the industry, having worked on the installation side of the business for many years.
“The move is about personal growth and finding new challenges to face. I have seen the challenges in last mile fibre first hand,” he said. “I strongly believe that the Conduct model has a good chance of success.”
“Creating new and dynamic markets for service providers by providing open access fibre proactively to key precincts is what the market needs. I am privileged to be part of this exciting next era of fibre in the country.”
Conduct is a last-mile fibre-optic telecommunications operator that invests in open access fibre in the last-mile, connecting commercial premises to dark fibre.
The latest appointment follows that of Richard Came to the position of chairman following his investment in the firm.
