At Digicel Pacific, the ‘Break the Bias’ theme celebrates the great efforts of our women across our five markets - Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and Nauru in shaping a more equal future, accepting differences and celebrating diversity.
Digicel Pacific Chief Executive Officer, Shally Jannif, said: “Today is about celebrating our heroes, our women at all levels in the company.
“We also recognise women working in fields that are mostly male-dominated like Technical and IT as a testament to the equal opportunities provided at our workplace."

“Our women play an important role in decision making and work shoulder-to-shoulder with men in Senior Management (SMT) positions."
“Our women leaders across the 5 markets form 48 per cent of our total management team."
"In Fiji, this number is at 60 per cent, Tonga and Nauru at 75 per cent. I am extremely proud of this result.”
Ms Jannif, the first Fijian CEO, was appointed as the Digicel Pacific CEO in February 2019 and said that one of the most valuable things is that she never underestimates herself.
“For me breaking the bias needs to start from within."
"Our thoughts about who we are shape how we want to be treated and what is the right role and place for us,” she said.
