BTL CEO Ivan Tesucum Placed on Leave

Belize Telemedia Limited (BTL) has announced that its Chief Executive Officer, Ivan Tesucum, has been placed on a 10-day leave effective immediately. This decision comes after the conclusion of an internal disciplinary process initiated by the company’s Board of Directors. The Board reviewed a complaint filed against Tesucum, which was examined by a disciplinary committee. The committee gathered evidence from both Tesucum and the complainant before making its recommendations. The Board ultimately determined that the specific complaint was not substantiated under the law, and both parties were informed of this outcome. However, the Board identified a related issue that required disciplinary action. After considering Tesucum’s response and ensuring due process, the Board decided on the 10-day leave as an appropriate measure. Tesucum is expected to resume his duties on November 14, 2025. This development has sparked discussions within the company and among stakeholders, raising questions about corporate governance and leadership accountability.
