Hashem will assume overall responsibility for the company’s day-to-day operations, as well as take the lead on strategic business directions for Alcatel-Lucent, in Ghana.
Former CTO for Alcatel-Lucent in the Middle East, Hashem will report directly in to Alpin Verlet, head of Alcatel-Lucent’s activities in West and Central Africa, in his new role.
“Ghana is playing an important role in Alcatel-Lucent’s business development in Africa,” Verlet said.
“Ramy’s appointment underlines our strong belief in this market and its potential, bringing with him strong sales and people management experience.”
Ramy’s appointment is said to coincide with Alcatel-Lucent’s Shift Plan as it moves to become a specialist in IP, cloud and high-speed broadband access.
Last month, the vendor appointed Richard Edet as country senior officer for Nigeria.
