Chief Executive Officer @ Saima Telecom

About

I run Saima Telecom, a fixed-broadband operator on a mission to connect Kyrgyzstan — bringing fiber-optic internet to homes and businesses across the country. Over the past 6 years we've scaled the company multi-fold: delivered the largest fiber construction program in its history, expanded the network nationwide, and connected communities that never had high-speed internet before. For me this is more than a business — reliable connectivity is the infrastructure on which the country's digital economy, education, and opportunities are built. On my watch as CFO/COO and then CEO: - Led the largest nationwide fiber rollout in the company's history - Scaled the subscriber base multi-fold while accelerating connection velocity - Built management, financial and technical accounting systems that make growth predictable - Full P&L ownership through the CFO/COO → CEO track Before that: senior finance roles at O! (mobile operator), VEON/VimpelCom, Imperial Tobacco — corporate discipline applied to frontier-market execution. I write about building digital infrastructure in Central Asia: scaling telecom operations, developing teams in emerging markets, and why this region is the next connectivity growth story.
