Digicel Guyana appoints new CEO

Deonarine Gopaul was on Saturday announced as Digicel Guyana’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). He brings to the post more than a decade of experience in the telecommunications industry, having made his entry into telecommunications with CelStar in the early part of transition to Digicel in 2007.
Gopaul has since worked for Digicel markets in senior roles in Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, and most recently in Suriname, where he was appointed the CEO in 2018, a role in which he will continue to serve.

When he assumes his new position as Digicel Guyana’s CEO on June 7, Gopaul will lead the telecom service provider’s comprehensive long-term vision, strategy and expansion plans. These
are inclusive of expansions to mobile and fixed services that customers are already enjoying, and the landing of Deep Blue One, the new subsea fibre in early 2024.
“I am excited to be involved with the delivery of our ambitious plans for the Guyanese market, and to lead this team of highly talented and experienced professionals,” Gopaul has said.
Gopaul takes the reins from Gregory Dean, who has been with Digicel Guyana for the past 16 years, and will continue to serve in an advisory capacity on the board of Digicel Guyana.
