Ben Roberts, Liquid Telecom’s Group Chief Technology and Innovation Officer, has announced that he will be leaving the company after serving the company for 22 years. Liquid Telecom, owned by Zimbabwe’s Econet, provides internet connectivity to businesses and homes.
“Well, after 22 years, it is with immense excitement, and some sadness, that it is time to move on from this great company Liquid Intelligent Technologies. I’m proud to have built and lead great teams, and with the great work from those teams, built great products, and perhaps the greatest network in Africa,” Roberts said in a LinkedIn Post.
Ben Roberts has been serving as Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at Liquid Telecom since 2017. He previously led the company’s Kenyan operations as CEO and Chairman of its board.
“I would like to thank especially the OGs who have been with me on this journey, you know who you are. But also the new friends, partners and colleagues I have met along the way. Too many to name you all, but let me give a special shout out to Nic Rudnick who has been my boss and leader for most of those 22 years and to Kevin Kinnear, the godfather of our pan African fibre network, and the guy who taught me the Latin phrase “ex Africa semper aliquid novi”,” he added.
