FINTEL announces Restructure of Corporate Operations
FINTEL today announced a restructure of the Top Management Team to better align its operations to the new deregulated market and to provide better oversight of strategic direction for the Group.
FINTEL has had a focus on localisation, developing professionals over the years, via a succession plan that recognises qualifications, experience and commitment and this reorganisation is the culmination of this direction consequent on the new deregulated market conditions. The restructure focuses on the internal processes to ensure business continuity is strengthened, efficiencies improved and customer focus continue to be the key business driver in the new market.
As a result of these developments, Mr. Ioane Koroivuki has been appointed CEO FINTEL and is fully responsible for all of the company’s business operations and including accountabilities as the Landing Party Operations Manager for the Southern Cross Cable Landing in Fiji managing one of Fiji’s strategic assets that provides globalisation reach at home. Ioane brings a new dimension to the FINTEL business as a fully qualified professional with 30 years experience in the telecom industry and substantial expertise in Telecoms Management. Ioane holds a MSc in Telecoms Operations and Management.
On the retail front of the business, Mr Jone Wesele will remain CEO of KIDANET and fully responsible for the business operations of the Internet plus company. Jone is also a qualified Telecom Executive with a MSc in Telecoms Operations and Management and 30 years of industry experience and will ensure that KIDANET continues to stay focussed on its customers, exceed their expectations and stay competitive. The KIDANET business is ready for their phase two rollout in 2010.
The new and prevailing market conditions in Fiji require a strong strategic direction and this has prompted the FINTEL Board to consider the consolidation of its business position and accordingly has reassigned new responsibilities for Mr. Sakaraia Tuilakepa. Sakaraia is a qualified Accounting & Finance Executive with 38 years of industry experience and he has been appointed as the Group CEO with full accountabilities for the oversight of both the business operations plus the provision of Full Group Services for Corporate Affairs, Regulatory and Governance; Finance and Risks Management; Human Resources and Logistics and the consolidation of the Group businesses.
All appointments are effective from 1 January 2010 and these 3 Senior Executives bring a combined industry experience and brain strength of close to 100 years between them and FINTEL hopes to capitalise on this intellectual property value to enhance its customer focus and business.
On the current industry reforms, FINTEL viewed the opening up of the international telecoms access market last July as key to the market changes. It is evident that the players in Fiji’s telco market face new challenges and operators now use their positions to decide on the mediums that they use to direct traffic through their networks – ie satellite, submarine cable, broadband etc. These challenges give a new dimension to competition and customer choices and FINTEL hopes that the market regulations will mandate the new innovative and emerging technologies applications to ensure that a level playing field prevails in order to allow the consumers to make better choices that deliver value for the prices they pay for services.
