DAR-ES-SALAAM, (CAJ News) – WINGU Africa has pledged to enhance Tanzania’s digital transformation with the appointment of Freddy Mrema as General Manager for Tanzania Sales in the country.
This signifies East Africa’s first specialist carrier-neutral data centre operator’s commitment to the region, with a similar appointment made in Ethiopia earlier in April.
The company stated that Mrema’s expanded role comes in recognition of his instrumental contributions to the business and the continued growth of Wingu’s presence in the Tanzanian market.
He has been lauded as a dedicated commercial leader who has consistently demonstrated strong performance, market insight and customer relationship excellence.
Wingu believes Mrema’s in-depth understanding of the Tanzanian technology ecosystem, combined with his hands-on leadership approach, will guide the next phase of market engagement and revenue expansion.
“Freddy’s appointment is a testament to his consistent performance and deep local expertise,” said Ralph Vraagom, Wingu Vice President: Sales.
“His leadership will be essential in supporting our clients’ transformation journeys and unlocking the full potential of Tanzania’s digital economy.”
In the role, Mrema is tasked with shaping and executing Wingu’s commercial strategy in Tanzania.
This includes leading the sales team, building local partnerships and driving the adoption of the company’s digital infrastructure offerings, which include data centre services, cloud and connectivity solutions.
Wingu stated this appointment reinforced an ongoing commitment to developing local leadership that understood the markets it served and reflected a belief that regional insight is central to sustainable, long-term success.
Earlier in April, the company appointed Tigest Damtie as General Manager for Sales in Ethiopia.
Wingu Africa has strategic locations in Djibouti, Ethiopia and Tanzania.
