Arivia.kom has named Ndi Towu as the new head of its Africa division.
Towu, who is based at arivia.kom`s Sunninghill offices, will take charge of plans to expand the group`s operations beyond its current presence in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Botswana.
"My mandate concerns the development of business in line with the New Partnership for Africa`s Development (Nepad) initiatives focusing on infrastructure and economic development, rather than merely achieving profits," says Towo.
Arivia.kom notes that Towo is "eminently qualified with years of experience in telecoms and ICT on the continent, as well as being fluent in French".
He has held various engineering, project management and management consulting positions as well as senior business development positions at Eskom and Telkom.
"Given my background in telecoms, by coming to arivia.kom I can broaden my interest in ICT and telecoms projects, particularly in light of the company`s vision to be the dominant ICT solutions provider on the continent. This approach is especially pertinent as the South African market becomes more competitive and margins shrink," says Towo.
"We will adopt a proactive strategy in opening new markets and not wait for partners to approach us," he adds.
