Seacom has announced that its current chief technical officer (CTO), Claes Segelberg, has resigned.
Segelberg has been with the ICT company almost since its inception in 2009 and has contributed nine years of service to Seacom.
Prenesh Padayachee, former CTO at Internet Solutions and previously chief sales and marketing officer at Telkom Openserve, officially took over as Seacom Group chief digital officer (CDO) on 4 January 2021.
In addition to the CTO’s responsibilities, Padayachee will also be absorbing the CIO.
Byron Clatterbuck, the outgoing Group CEO of Seacom, comments: “Claes has been a true asset to the Seacom team, playing a pivotal role in shaping our organisation into the industry leader it is today. We wish him the very best with his future endeavours, and are grateful that he will be staying with us until the end of March 2021 to ensure a seamless handover into the capable hands of Prenesh.”
SEACOM has announced that its current Chief Technical Officer (CTO), Claes Segelberg, has resigned. Segelberg has been with the ICT company almost since its inception in 2009.
Segelberg and his passionate team are credited with building up the organisation from a small new private linear east coast cable system into the leading data transmission backbone of Africa.
Segelberg explained why now is the right time for him to hand over his CTO responsibilities. “SEACOM is heading into a new future of investment and growth, focusing on the rapidly expanding corporate segments in our key markets. This requires fresh ideas and new skills that will take SEACOM from its current strengths into its future expansion and development.”
