MTN GlobalConnect appointed Juliet Nsubuga as managing director of MTN GlobalConnect Uganda, effective April 1, 2023, and Josephine Sarouk will assume the role of managing director, MTN GlobalConnect Nigeria, effective March 1, 2023.
“I look forward to working closely with our newly appointed business leaders as we continue to build our business in Africa,” shared Frédéric Schepens, MTN GlobalConnect CEO. “We welcome Juliet and Josephine into the MTN GlobalConnect family and look forward to learning from their knowledge and rich experience in the Telecommunications sector.”
Juliet brings over 20 years of experience in the telecommunications sector, with her most recent role being general manager of wholesale and carrier services for MTN Uganda. She holds a Bachelor of Business Administration and Master’s in Economic Policy and Planning from Makerere University. Juliet is an associate member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing in the United Kingdom.
Josephine has more than 14 years of experience in the Telecommunications sector, specializing in ICT, Digital, Wholesale, Enterprise Sales and Marketing. She joins from MTN Nigeria, where she was general manager: regional operations, Lagos and Southwest, a position she has occupied since 2017. She holds a BA with Honors in Journalism and Law from the University of West London and a postgraduate certificate in Business Administration and Management from the University of Wales.
These appointments make further inroads into MTN GlobalConnect’s transformation journey, which recently saw it welcome Sylvia Anampiu as managing director for its Kenya operations and Lillian Mutwalo as managing director of its Zambia operations.
As MTN GlobalConnect looks to increase fixed connectivity and international mobile services through wholesale opportunities, Juliet and Josephine’s addition to the company’s strong female leadership bench will ensure that, through its #GrowAfrica strategy, MTN GlobalConnect is well positioned to meet the anticipated exponential growth in data traffic in Africa, thereby accelerating the continent’s digital economy.
