Airtel Africa has appointed new managing directors for its operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Gabon.
Antoine Pamboro will head up Airtel in Gabon, taking over from Louis Lubala who has now been appointed managing director in DRC.
In his new role, Pamboro will be focussing on building a strong data proposition for Airtel’s customers in Gabon, while Lubala will “lead an aggressive agenda in DRC to ramp up the organisation’s network capabilities and grow availability across the vast country,” according to an announcement from Airtel.
Pamboro has previously worked for Celtel Congo Brazzaville and Camtel Mobile in Cameroon.
Speaking about the two appointments, Tiemoko Coulibaly, CEO (Francophone Africa), Bharti Airtel, commented: “These appointments are a clear indication of our commitment to appreciate and tap into the deep reservoir of management skills of the blue chip executive pool in Africa. Lubala and Pamboro have the requisite experience and leadership skills to successfully steer our top francophone operations.
“Both executives will bring different perspectives to two of Africa’s most dynamic telecommunications markets.”
