Telecom Fiji Limited today announced the appointment of Charles Goundar as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Mr Goundar has been acting as CEO after the departure of Mr Mothilal De Silva on 31 December 2017.

He holds a Bachelor of Engineering Technology. During the course of his career, he attended multiple technical and non-technical training programmer management, leadership, strategic planning and change management programmes.

He has been with Telecom Fiji for 19 years, starting his career as a Graduate Trainee Engineer in December 1999 and progressing through various key technical and management roles, to the previously held role of General Manager Business Sales and Retail.

With his wide telecommunication industry experience ranging from technical, commercial, strategy, product management and development, wholesale and international business, he will certainly be an asset to the company.

The TFL Board is confident that moving forward, with Mr Goundar’s valuable experience and guidance, Telecom Fiji will not only exceed current performance but will further explore strategic initiatives to strengthen its performance for the benefit of its shareholders.
