More Women Making Their Mark In Telecommunications
Funke Opeke, the CEO and founder of MainOne, resigned after selling her firm to Equinix for $320 million. MainOne was one of the first carrier neutral data centre companies in Nigeria and its MDXI facility is almost a must-have for ISPs. I suspect MainOne got into the subsea cable business for two reasons. One would be to ensure its data centers had adequate connectivity to Europe. Secondly, it was a high margin business due to limited competition. MainOne just opened a new facility in Ghana, one of Africa's bright spots in terms of political culture and market economies.

Political conservatives are unable to understand women outside the traditional mother, daughter, wife, and sister roles. They feel threatened.😀
