In his new role, Sha, the South African national will oversee the growth of digital services and the deployment of enhanced network services for enterprises and consumers across the country.
Commenting on Sha’s appointment, Nic Rudnick, Group CEO of Liquid Telecom, said: “We’re delighted to have found such a talented and skilled individual to fill this role. Reshaad’s entrepreneurial spirit and dynamic leadership make him the perfect addition to the Liquid Telecom Group as we continue to deliver on our vision of building Africa’s digital future.”

Only last month Liquid Telecom partnered with Metaswitch to expand the voice and Unified Communication and Collaboration (UC&C) services of the group. The voice service expansion will pan six countries in Africa and will include the following Metaswitch solutions, including: its Clearwater vIMS Core, Perimeta vSBC, Service Assurance Server (SAS) and Multiservice Telephony Application Servers (MTAS).
