The pan-African telecommunications group Paratus has appointed Neill Nortje as Country Manager of Paratus Zambia. He succeeds Marius van Vuuren, who has been appointed by the group as Chief Operating Officer.
Nortje joined Paratus Zambia two years ago, launching the company's consumer service before being promoted to Operations Manager. He brings extensive pan-African teleco experience spanning wholesale voice, data, enterprise connectivity, operations, cloud and data center services. His appointment ensures continuity as the business builds on its strong reputation and accelerates the next phase of its growth.
Before joining Paratus, Nortje held senior positions with Wingu Africa, Telecom Italia and NeoTel, building extensive experience in pan-African data center infrastructure, wholesale telecommunications and cross-border connectivity.
"Paratus has always stood out to me as a wonderful company with strong brand reputation in Zambia," says Nortje. "Not only is it a company that gets things done – and done right – but it has also built an outstanding reputation in Zambia, supported by an exceptional team and a strong customer-first culture. Marius leaves behind a fantastic foundation and I relish the challenge of building on the company’s success as we continue to grow and strengthen our market position."
