Singapore telco StarHub announced that it has appointed Peter Kaliaropoulos as its next Chief Executive Officer. Peter K, as is known, will take over as Group CEO on 9 July 2018.
According to a statement from the telco released on Friday (20 April), Peter K, who was most recently CEO of Zain Saudi Arabia, has 35 years of experience in the global Information and communication technology sector. He was previously with telcos across Asia Pacific and the Middle East including BT, Telstra, Optus, Clear, Batelco and Ooredoo.
