ICT Firm CEO: News, Moves and Interviews

Want the latest on the people who run Africa’s tech and telecom companies? This tag gathers news about ICT firm CEOs — appointments, strategy shifts, interviews, controversies and leadership moves that shape the industry. If you follow startups, telcos, software firms or enterprise IT vendors, this page helps you find executive-level news fast.

We focus on stories that matter to business people, investors, customers and tech workers. Expect clear reports on who’s hired or promoted, why a CEO changed direction, how executive moves affect products and jobs, and what senior leaders say in interviews. You’ll also find coverage of governance issues, regulatory fights, and big strategic bets like mergers or market entries.

What you’ll find here

Short, searchable summaries and full articles covering: CEO appointments and departures; exclusive interviews and Q&A; leadership strategies and vision pieces; responses to crises or scandals; and boardroom decisions that impact services or jobs. Each story links to original reporting, official statements or court filings where possible, so you can check sources quickly.

When reading a CEO story, focus on three things that matter: the motive (why the change happened), the plan (what the new or current CEO wants to achieve), and the impact (how customers, staff and investors will feel the change). We highlight those points so you can get the essentials without wading through jargon.

How to use this tag and stay updated

Follow the tag to get alerts when a new CEO story publishes. Bookmark this page if you track a specific company or leader — it groups all related posts in one place. Use the search box on CottonCandi News for company names, sectors (like telecom or cloud services), or keywords such as "board", "merger" or "funding" to narrow results.

If you work in PR or at an ICT firm and want coverage, make it easy for reporters: send a clear press release with dates, headshots, short bios, and a plain summary of the change and reasons. Offer spokespeople for quick interviews and provide key documents like appointment letters or regulatory notices when relevant. Good, verifiable info speeds up coverage and reduces errors.

For readers, a quick tip: watch for signals beyond the headline — a change in product roadmaps, new partnerships, or a sudden restructuring often tells you more about a CEO’s direction than a single quote. We’ll flag those signals when we see them.
