Millicom has appointed Uche Ofodile as the new general manager of its Tigo subsidiary in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
She joins from Vodafone Ghana where she was chief marketing officer and will take up the position on 1 October.
Ofodile replaces Stephane Teyssedre, who left Millicom a few months ago.
Commenting on her appointment, Ofodile said: “The country is at a very exciting juncture in its ICT development, and there is great potential for further growth.”
Millicom launched Tigo in the DRC back in 2007 and now boasts 4.2 million customers and a 30.4% share of the mobile market, making it the second-largest player in the country, the company claims. It is also heavily involved in mobile financial services.
