Dear Editor,
Recently I googled some information on TelEm and what I found was that St. Maarten Telecommunication Holding Company NV is government owned. The information also explained that the company prides itself on being in the forefront of telecommunication technology in the northeast Caribbean region, where they deliver the latest telecommunication products and services to a range of residential and business clients in an emerging, low-volume market.
We learn that the company’s main office is located on Pond Island with branches in Simpson Bay and Cay Hill. What I did not find is where the address of the help desk is.
For years the people of Sint Maarten have had to call to Curaçao in order to get help for a telecommunication problem on Sint Maarten. How can a company of this importance do all these things, but not be able to provide a help desk here on Sint Maarten?
The daily operations of the Sint Maarten Telecommunication Holding Company NV are handled by a Management Board consisting of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and a Management Board Chairperson; a Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and a Chief Commercial Officer (CCO).
My question: Is it so difficult to choose one from within to be the CEO of Sint Maarten Telecommunication Group of Companies?
