ZOL Zimbabwe has appointed Denny Marandure to be the new chief executive officer, replacing founder of the internet company David Behr, who is tipped for the chairmanship of the company.
Before this new appointment, Marandure was Chief Operating Officer at NettCash, the payments company increasingly visible for its new mobile payments product.
Marandure has worked for several local and global companies such as IBM USA, IBM Europe Middle East & Africa, Lucent Technologies and Price Waterhouse in various senior roles.
On the new appointment, Marandure said the company and brand are strong and that strategic changes he will need to make are just "tweaks and enhancements".
He also acknowledged that ZOL's parent company, Liquid Telecom Group, brings great potential through the vast fibre infrastructure and access to global capital markets – something he said is "really exciting" for him, the Manic Post reported today.
"Having spent the last 12 years working for largest telecommunications company in the world, Verizon, hopefully I can bring that outside perspective and bring some new ideas to reshape the future of ZOL Zimbabwe," Marundure was quoted by the weekly publication today.
ZOL rebranded several months ago and changed names from ZOL (an acronym for Zimbabwe Online) to just ZOL Zimbabwe. The hint is that there may be other ZOLs to emerge in the region.
