Airtel Africa’s Chief Financial Officer, Jaideep Paul, has announced his retirement, effective after the upcoming annual general meeting in July. At 63, Paul has been a cornerstone of the organization, playing a vital role in shaping and executing Airtel Africa’s financial strategy.

His outstanding leadership has driven the company’s remarkable growth and facilitated its expansion across diverse markets on the African continent.

In a well-planned transition, Paul will assume a new senior position within the Bharti Group, the parent company of Airtel Africa. This strategic position will enable him to leverage his vast experience and insights while contributing to the group’s broader ambitions and initiatives.

Kamal Dua, currently the Deputy Chief Financial Officer, has been chosen to succeed Paul, highlighting the company’s dedication to ensuring a seamless transition and the continuity of strong financial governance. This is especially critical as Airtel Africa continues its journey of growth.

Paul’s leadership over the years has been invaluable, and his impending departure signifies a crucial moment for Airtel Africa at a key phase of expansion and operational enhancement. As the company aims to strengthen its footprint globally, maintaining a stable and effective financial leadership team will be imperative.

This continuity will preserve the company’s current momentum and empower it to tackle new challenges in the dynamic telecommunications landscape.
