Telkom Kenya Restructures Its Business As It Promises Goodies

Earlier this month, Telkom’s leadership announced that we had taken the bold decision to carve out a new direction for Telkom.

“Given our vast infrastructure asset base, terrestrial fiber, and our 4G network, we are confident in this new direction, one that has also been strengthened by the accelerated digital transformation, making both businesses and individuals acutely aware of the need to change how we do things,” said Telkom in a statement.

According to Telkom, the new restructuring is set to:

To better position our infrastructure asset base and services, to drive digital transformation within the Consumer, SME, Corporate and Public sectors, to enable them to become smart entities;

To create a future smart landing hub for the majority of submarine cables in the region as we continue to provide connectivity to all data, entering and exiting Kenya;

Bridging the consumer digital divide; connecting the unconnected through the expansion of our 4G/LTE network, as well as through cutting-edge technologies such as Loon;

Up-skilling our employees to be future-fit, to serve the evolving needs of our customers

At the same time, Telkom has announced Mr. Steve Okeyo as the Managing Director for Telkom Consumer, Kris Senanu as the Managing Director Telkom Digital and Kebaso G. Mogogi as Chief Wholesale and Cloud Officer.

According to Telkom Kenya, the restructuring will enable it to sharpen its efficiencies, with respect to service provision and overall customer experience. It will also enable us to partner more strategically with like-minded entities, for example, in the telecommunications, technology, and financial services sectors. The end game is to be the technology partner of choice to our consumers, private and public sector clients.

“I am excited to share our new strategic focus areas, that will address this current transformational dynamic as well as Telkom’s long-term objectives, as we work towards becoming a thriving integrated Telco provider, and the technology company of the future,” said Mr. Mugo Kibati, CEO Telkom Kenya.
