In a strategic move to bolster regional leadership, Digicel has appointed Garvin Medera as the CEO of its Atlantic Region. The announcement, made on November 17, marks Medera’s return to the telecommunications giant, where he previously held key roles, including chairman of the Digicel Foundation TT and CEO of Digicel Play. Medera’s extensive experience, particularly his tenure as CEO of Caribbean Airlines (CAL), aligns with Digicel’s mission to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency across its markets. His leadership at CAL, which focused on operational profitability, digital modernization, and customer-centric strategies, is seen as a valuable asset for Digicel’s ongoing transformation. Marcelo Cataldo, Digicel’s Group CEO, praised Medera’s regional expertise and global vision, emphasizing his ability to drive the company’s next phase of growth. Medera expressed enthusiasm about rejoining Digicel, highlighting his commitment to fostering connectivity and service excellence. This appointment comes as Digicel undertakes significant restructuring efforts to address financial obligations, including the recent closure of its publishing and broadcasting arm, which impacted over 50 employees. Medera’s return signals Digicel’s focus on leveraging seasoned leadership to navigate its evolving landscape.
