Global connectivity solutions operator, Angola Cables has announced that Samuel Carvalho, currently the Chief Marketing Officer for Angola Cables, has been appointed as the CEO of TelCables Europe.
Carvalho will still retain his role as the Chief Marketing Officer for the Angola Cables’ Group and will continue to lead Angola Cables’ global marketing strategy.
As CEO of the company’s European subsidiary he will focus on positioning TelCables Europe as the Atlantic digital bridge for backbone networks and operators looking for ‘front door access’ to the US, Latam, Africa and the Middle East through direct or diverse traffic routing options.
Carvalho says that TelCables Europe will operate as an integrated neutral accelerator platform for European carriers, content providers and corporate business.
Using the extensive and highly connected Angola Cables’ – and partner subsea cable systems, the platform will offer data centre to data centre and cloud to cloud ready networking, low latency IP transit as well as an extensive range of interconnection solutions – from physical, to multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructure deployments.
“The TelCables Europe operation reinforces our global strategy and commitment to expanding the presence of our owned and partner submarine networks in the Atlantic, with scalable connectivity solutions and routing options to meet the growing market demand. We can provide alternative routes to carry traffic from the Middle East and Africa to Europe and the US via SACS, MONET, or EllaLink without having to pass through critical points. This ensures more redundancy routing options, greater security and flexibility for our customers,” notes Carvalho.
Ângelo Gama, CEO of Angola Cables Group said that Carvalho’s appointment was a natural choice given his extensive telecommunications experience and strategic knowledge of the dynamics of the European market.
Commenting on his new responsibilities, Carvalho said,
“I am honoured to take on this role and lead the TelCables Europe into its next phase of business growth and I look forward to the exciting challenges that lie ahead.”
“Samuel’s deep understanding of the European telecommunications landscape, combined with his strategic insight and proven leadership abilities within our Global Operations makes him the ideal candidate to drive TelCables Europe’s growth and strengthen our position as a global network operator and Atlantic connectivity leader,” concluded Gama.
