Profile of Mr Carl Cruz, Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director, Airtel Nigeria

Carl Cruz is the Managing Director and CEO of Airtel Nigeria, a leading provider of telecommunications and mobile money services. Airtel Nigeria is a member of Airtel Africa, which has a presence in 14 countries across the continent.

Since taking over the leadership of one of Nigeria’s most valuable companies, which is also a critical enabler of business and lifestyle, Mr Cruz has overseen a steadying of nationwide operations, particularly in the context of current indices of the Nigerian economy. Considering his extensive experience in similar markets, however, he has expressed tremendous optimism about the future of business in Nigeria. 

This positive outlook of his justifies the view of Airtel Africa CEO, Segun Ogunsanya, regarding the CEO of the Nigerian opco.

We look forward to working with him to steer our largest region and to deliver on our corporate purpose of transforming lives.”

Carl Cruz also functions on the Executive Committee of Airtel Africa as the Regional Operating Director, reporting to the Group CEO and the Board of Airtel Networks Limited (Nigeria).

He holds a bachelor’s degree in Marketing Management from the University of De La Salle, Philippines.
