Roshi Motman
AirtelTigo’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Roshi Motman, has decided to leave the company to pursue new opportunities.
Ms Motman, who enjoyed considerable success during her time first with Tigo Ghana and subsequently with AirtelTigo, joined Tigo Ghana in 2014, managing the company to chalk significant successes, including the successful completion of the merger between Airtel and Tigo last year.
During her tenure at Tigo Ghana she revived the company and gained recognition for the financial and operational turnaround of the business and her strong record of developing and nurturing talent.
She won the Africa Telecommunications CEO of the Year Award at the 2015 AfricaCom due to her transformational leadership.
She will be replaced by Mitwa Kaemba Ng’ambi, who was the CEO of Tigo Senegal until its recent sale.
Prior to her role as CEO, she was the Chief Commercial Officer at Tigo Senegal.
Before that, she spent two years with MTN in Benin as the Chief Marketing Officer and she also worked for Airtel in Zambia.
Ms Roshi commented: “It has been a fantastic journey and I feel privileged to have led a great group of people to the creation of AirtelTigo, one of the leading mobile operators in Ghana. The newly-merged business is in great shape, and I’m excited to hand the reins to Mitwa, who has been an outstanding colleague at Tigo, to take it to the next level. I am confident that AirtelTigo will progress rapidly under her leadership.”
Mitwa Kaemba Ng’ambi said: “It is a real honour to have been chosen to lead AirtelTigo to the next phase of its development. It’s an exciting time to be joining the business and I really look forward to getting to know our colleagues, partners and customers.”
Tim Pennington, a member of the Board Directors of AirtelTigo said: “The Board would like to thank Roshi for her tireless leadership and in bringing Airtel and Tigo together. She is now handing over the reins to Mitwa whose leadership skills will be able to grow AirtelTigo further, and we wish both Roshi and Mitwa success for the future.”
Ms Motman will continue to advise Ms Kaemba Ng’ambi during the transition period.
