Kennedy Emi

I am accredited as a Senior Network/Telecom Engineer with 23+ years of experience in Nigeria. I am currently spearheading efforts with Zanch International Limited as a Head of Operations – Infrastructure and Technology Services. Previously, I have worked with renowned organizations like Reliance Telecommunications Limited (Zoom Mobile), Globenode Limited (Internet Technology and Infrastructure Services), HS Communications Limited (Nigeria Representative of Israel Sky-Vision Satellite Company), Warsun Network Solutions Limited, and Cyberspace Limited.

Over the years, my experience has been centered on defining and developing new business strategies in the Telecom domain, leading project/program delivery, and opportunities to produce new products/services, capabilities, and online technologies. I am proficient in building professional sustainable connections with stakeholders, partners, and third-party teams/individuals through various levels of governance meetings/interactions. I am also skilled at designing, developing, and implementing various IT/telecom products in multiple domains, in highly available traditional/legacy and/or cloud environments with high availability.

I offer competencies in Project Scope Determination, Requirement Gathering & Analysis, Escalation Administration, Business Development, Client Relationship Building, VSAT Infrastructure, Voice & Data Communication, Stakeholder & Communication, FOC Planning, Designing, and Implementation, People Management, Fundamental Planning & Demand Forecasting, Reporting & Documentation, Hardware & Material Procurement, Internet & Data Service Management, and IP & Network Infrastructure Strategy.

Academically, I am qualified with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical and Electronics and AWS certifications

For organizations that require reports of deployed infrastructure and technology to make an informed decision on management strategies and operations, my experience would be an asset. Coming from the background of Electrical / Electronic Engineering with a B. Eng. Second Class upper division, to information technology services, solutions, and end-user support, through to network operation center operations and management to infrastructure and technology service provision, web, email, and content management to contracting, tendering, procurement, installation, and business support services and management, my experience would benefit organizations/industry in this category of business. My major strength is harmonizing information from deployed infrastructure and technology products to assist managers in decision making, help provide an interface for the marketing team, and in the reconciliation of subscribed services.
