Dig­i­cel an­nounced last week that it was chang­ing its chief ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cer in Trinidad and To­ba­go. Niall Dor­ri­an, who has been CEO of Dig­i­cel Trinidad and To­ba­go since 2007, will be tak­ing up the role as in­ter­im CEO of the com­pa­ny's busi­ness in Pana­ma.

In Dor­ri­an's place, Dig­i­cel is bring­ing in John Delves as its new CEO of Trinidad and To­ba­go. Delves is cur­rent­ly the gen­er­al man­ag­er of Dig­i­cel OECS North – a role he has held since com­ing to the Caribbean in 2010 from Dig­i­cel Fi­ji where he was CEO. Pri­or to that, John was CEO of Dig­i­cel Van­u­atu.

In a state­ment, Dig­i­cel said: "Through­out his tenure at Dig­i­cel, John has been re­spon­si­ble for pro­pelling out­stand­ing growth in terms of cus­tomers and dri­ving rev­enues. "He's held fast to Dig­i­cel's tenets to pro­vide ex­cel­lent ser­vice, net­work and val­ue and out­reach­es to its com­mu­ni­ties."

The telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions com­pa­ny said that the changes will take ef­fect dur­ing April. "Dig­i­cel would like to thank Niall for his ser­vice in Trinidad and To­ba­go and to wish John the best of luck in his new role. We would al­so like to take this op­por­tu­ni­ty to thank our cus­tomers for their loy­al­ty to Dig­i­cel."

Af­ter ten years of op­er­a­tion, Dig­i­cel Group Lim­it­ed has over 11 mil­lion cus­tomers across its 31 mar­kets in the Caribbean, Cen­tral Amer­i­ca and the Pa­cif­ic. The Dig­i­cel state­ment said that in his new po­si­tion in Pana­ma, Dor­ri­an will bring to bear the wealth of ex­pe­ri­ence and knowl­edge he has ac­quired dur­ing his tenure at the helm of our Trinidad and To­ba­go busi­ness.

"In what is a high­ly com­pet­i­tive en­vi­ron­ment, he was able to dri­ve five years of fan­tas­tic growth and achieve­ment in terms of cus­tomer num­bers and rev­enues," said Dig­i­cel about Dor­ri­an. Ac­cord­ing to the com­pa­ny: "Cus­tomer con­fi­dence was am­pli­fied un­der his watch, al­ways de­liv­er­ing on Dig­i­cel's com­mit­ment to best val­ue, ser­vice and net­work and to giv­ing back to its com­mu­ni­ties.

"A fo­cus on in­no­va­tion and unique pro­mo­tions are some of the defin­ing as­pects of his lead­er­ship, dur­ing which time there was a quan­tum leap in sub­scribers to da­ta plans and cor­po­rate client ac­qui­si­tions. He leaves in his wake, a strong team and a com­pa­ny poised to take Trinidad and To­ba­go in­to the next cut­ting edge phase of telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions."
