Confirming this to DigitalSENSE Business News, the Chairman and CEO of Africa.com, Ms Teresa Clarke, via a press statement endorsed by Debra Winter, Wednesday said that the appointment of Ope Odusan as Managing Director of Africa.com Domain Services, was with immediate effect.
Since 2011, Odusan has served as Chief Operating Officer of the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA), driving the strategy and operations of the .ng domain, the official domain of the country of Nigeria, which also includes .com.ng, among other domains.
As the head of the organization, Odusan is credited with aligning the .ng domain with global market practices.
Clarke disclosed that following a comprehensive search that considered a broad list of highly qualified candidates, Ope’s unique combination of knowledge of the African internet market, management skills, professional experience and African domain name industry connections make him the ideal choice to serve as Africa.com’s Managing Director of Domain Name Services.
“We are launching our domain name business this month. We are very impressed at how Ope’s vision is confluent with that of the organization, and how he plans to lead Africa.com into the future,” she said.
In his response, Mr. Odusan said, he was honoured to have been selected as Africa.com’s new Managing Director of Domain Name Services and equally excited to drive its mission of bringing African small businesses online.
“I look forward to working with the Africa.com staff towards an exciting future focused on helping African SMEs bring their products and services to the global online community. Together, we will advance African small business to improve economic development, and create jobs, for Africans across the continent,” he assured.
