If you’re “charis­mat­ic, re­sults-dri­ven” and have ex­pe­ri­ence in com­pet­i­tive busi­ness en­vi­ron­ments, then this call may be for you.

The Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions Ser­vices of Trinidad and To­ba­go Ltd (TSTT) has of­fi­cial­ly start­ed its search for a new Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer.

And the afore­men­tioned at­trib­ut­es are what the telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions gi­ant says it is look­ing for in a prospec­tive can­di­date.

The va­can­cy at TSTT aris­es from the res­ig­na­tion of Dr Ronald Wal­cott on Oc­to­ber 1.

Wal­cott served as TSTT’s CEO for six years.

Lisa Agard has been act­ing as the com­pa­ny’s CEO since Wal­cott’s de­par­ture

TSTT is joint­ly owned by Na­tion­al En­ter­pris­es Lim­it­ed (NEL) which in turn is ma­jor­i­ty-owned by the Gov­ern­ment of Trinidad and To­ba­go, and Ca­ble & Wire­less (West In­dies) Lim­it­ed, (C&W).

NEL owns 51 per cent of TSTT’s is­sued share cap­i­tal, while C&W holds 49 per cent.

“TSTT is T&T’s largest and most ad­vanced provider of in­te­grat­ed com­mu­ni­ca­tions so­lu­tions to the res­i­den­tial and com­mer­cial mar­kets. Its lead­ing-edge prod­ucts are de­signed around an IP-based core in­fra­struc­ture and mar­ket­ed un­der its bmo­bile brand,” it stat­ed.

“The CEO re­ports to the Board of Di­rec­tors, and is re­spon­si­ble for the pro­vi­sion of ef­fec­tive lead­er­ship and strate­gic di­rec­tion that ad­dress­es the com­pet­i­tive chal­lenges fac­ing the busi­ness and the main­te­nance of TSTT’s po­si­tion as a world-class com­mu­ni­ca­tions so­lu­tions provider and lead­ing brand of telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions ser­vices,” TSTT stat­ed.

TSTT’s board is chaired by Sean Roach.

Roach was ap­point­ed to that po­si­tion on Feb­ru­ary 7 last year.

The com­pa­ny is call­ing for prospec­tive can­di­dates for CEO to have demon­strat­ed ex­pe­ri­ence in “ma­jor turn­around ini­tia­tives and man­ag­ing change, with a fo­cus on em­bed­ding an ex­cel­lent cus­tomer ex­pe­ri­ence; de­vel­op­ing strate­gic plans to in­crease prof­itabil­i­ty and mar­ket share, and bal­anc­ing long-term share­hold­er val­ue max­imi­sa­tion with short term busi­ness re­sults.”

“The in­cum­bent should have the abil­i­ty to lead in a com­plex en­vi­ron­ment in­volv­ing mul­ti­ple stake­hold­ers and will pos­sess ex­cel­lent strate­gic, lead­er­ship and com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills, and be po­lit­i­cal­ly adept,” it stat­ed.

“Can­di­dates should be fi­nan­cial­ly as­tute in a com­mer­cial­ly con­strained en­vi­ron­ment. Sig­nif­i­cant ex­pe­ri­ence in gen­er­al man­age­ment, in­clud­ing the lead­er­ship and coach­ing of se­nior ex­ec­u­tives across core func­tions is es­sen­tial,” TSTT stat­ed.

Ap­pli­cants should have a Post Grad­u­ate de­gree in Busi­ness Ad­min­is­tra­tion from a recog­nised busi­ness school as well as a min­i­mum of ten years’ ex­pe­ri­ence in se­nior man­age­ment po­si­tions in telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions or oth­er in­dus­tries with sig­nif­i­cant tech­nol­o­gy and cus­tomer sat­is­fac­tion el­e­ments.

The clos­ing date for ap­pli­ca­tions is the end of this month.
