Carl Cruz is the Managing Director and CEO of Airtel Nigeria, a leading provider of telecommunications and mobile money services. Airtel Nigeria is a member of Airtel Africa, which has a presence in 14 countries across the continent.

Mr Cruz assumed the leadership of Airtel Nigeria in May 2023 and brings to Airtel more than 30 years of business and corporate experience across several countries in Asia and Africa, having occupied key management roles in Unilever Philippines and Hindustan Unilever India, and serving as Chairman and Managing Director of Unilever Sri Lanka.

Since taking over the leadership of one of Nigeria’s most valuable companies, which is also a critical enabler of business and lifestyle, Mr Cruz has overseen a steadying of nationwide operations, particularly in the context of current indices of the Nigerian economy.

We look forward to working with him to steer our largest region and to deliver on our corporate purpose of transforming lives.”
