CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS, PLC (CWC) announced the departure of former chairman of LIME Jamaica Chris Dehring.
Dehring, who was also a member of the company’s senior management team, has decided to return to entrepreneurship after six transformative years with the company. His exit was effective last Wednesday.
“On behalf of the board of directors and the management and staff of CWC I want to thank Chris for his outstanding contributions to our business during his time with the company,” said Phil Bentley, CWC’s chief executive officer.
“Chris has been a key leader in our business, spearheading the largest market in the Caribbean for over six years as chairman, and building a solid foundation to drive growth and profitability in one of our most important markets.
“His outstanding reputation throughout the Caribbean and strategic acumen proved invaluable to the success of the merger with Columbus and we thank him for his leadership, and wish him well in his future endeavours,” Bentley said.
He added: “On a personal note, I’d like to thank Chris for working so closely and effectively with me on gaining the support across the Caribbean for the acquisition of Columbus – this has been a game changer for CWC.”
Dehring was instrumental in reviving the LIME brand (now FLOW), and business with innovative marketing.
Commenting on his tenure, Dehring said: “It was an honour to serve with so many oustanding colleagues at Cable & Wireless Communications and to be able to close this remarkable era of my career by playing such an integral role in finalising what undoubtedly is a transformational merger with Columbus.” (PR)
