Telecommunication giant Digicel Jamaica has announced Jabbor Kayumov will take over as its new CEO, effective Thursday (January 14).

The company, in its statement, noted that before Jamaica, Kayumov had previously headed up Digicel’s operations in Trinidad & Tobago for the last two years.

Oliver Coughlan, Digicel CEO for the Caribbean and Central America, praised Kayumov’s work ethic as he congratulated him on the new role.

“Of note is Jabbor’s willingness to make himself accessible to customers and staff alike 24/7, which in turn has given rise to a customer-centric culture that shows up positively in our engagement scores and customer feedback,” Coughlan said.

“Jabbor’s enthusiasm and dynamism is infectious and has been an integral part of the success that he has driven in our Trinidad & Tobago operations. I would like to congratulate him on his new role as CEO of Digicel Jamaica and to wish him every success,” he added.

Hailing Jamaica as “Digicel’s flagship country”, the newly appointed CEO is promising great things for the almost two-decade-old company.

“It all started here 19 years ago. Jamaica is Digicel’s flagship country so I’m super excited and honoured to be given the opportunity to join the Jamaica team at a pivotal time for the company as we work to deliver digital experiences 1,440 minutes of each day to customers as a digital operator,” Kayumov stated.

“With a strong focus on ensuring that we deliver on our promise of simply more, I am looking forward to working with the team to keep finding new and powerful ways of bringing our ‘Better Together’ brand to life for our customers and our staff,” he added.
