Stephen Murad announced as new Digicel Jamaica CEO

Stephen Murad has been announced as the new Chief Executive Director of Digicel Jamaica following the resignation of Jabbor Kayumov after two years at the helm.

Murad has held a number of senior commercial roles for Digicel Group and has served in CEO roles for Digicel at the regional level, in the Turks & Caicos Islands and most recently Bermuda.

Murad has been with Digicel for eight years having previously spent nearly a decade with O2 in the UK in a variety of senior commercial roles.

Commenting on the transition, Digicel Group CEO, Oliver Coughlan, said: “I am confident that Stephen will build on the great work that Jabbor has done and that customers will continue to enjoy and benefit from the best service, network and value promise that we are always laser focused on delivering for them. Stephen is an engaged and empathetic leader and a standout performer – and even better, he loves Jamaica. He is raring to go and we are excited to welcome him to the Jamaica team.”

In bidding farewell to Digicel, Jabbor commented: “My five years in Digicel have been the most exciting and rewarding in my professional life, to date.”
