Home-grown Talent: Lanre Kolade promoted to Managing Director, Central Africa region

Gateway Communications Managing Director, Central Africa region, Lanre Kolade.

At Gateway Communications we truly believe in the recognition and development of our existing talent. To this end, we are thrilled to announce that Lanre Kolade, who has worked his way successfully through the ranks, has been promoted to the newly-created position of Managing Director, Central Africa region.

Lanre has made an amazing success of growing our business in Cameroon and has time and again shown his tireless enthusiasm and passion for the business. He is a true home-grown talent and it is extremely gratifying to see him climbing the promotional ladder within Gateway Communications. We are certain that this is only the first of many exciting career developments that he will enjoy within the Gateway Group.

Central Africa, our newest region, has come about as the result of our strong desire to place more focus and attention on growing Gateway’s business in this part of Africa. This region consists of the following countries, which collectively comprise CEMAC (the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa): Cameroon; the Central African Republic; Chad; the Republic of the Congo; Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. We have also included Sao Tome and Principe, which has strong economic links to CEMAC, in this new Gateway Communications region.

We firmly believe that this organisational change will significantly improve our focus on this important and fast-growing region, and will ensure that Gateway’s servicing of a major portion of the business coming out of these countries is more efficient than ever.
