Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Chinese telecommunications giant, Huawei, has appointed a 17-year telecommunications industry veteran as chief financial officer for its Australian operations.
Brian Hoppe, a chartered accountant, has joined
Huawei from Nortel where he was CFO for the company’s Asia Pacific
business, previously working with Nortel in Canada, the United States,
Australia, Japan and China.
Commenting on his appointment as CFO, Hoppe said it was an exciting time to be
joining Huawei, with the Australian business experiencing 240 percent
sales growth this year on the previous year.
“This is a fantastic result, especially during a period of economic
uncertainty. Huawei will be looking to build on this success and
continue to grow the company as a strong local entity over the next two
to three years.”
Earlier this year, Huawei Australia appointed Peter Rossi to the
position of chief technology officer after 20 years in the
telecommunications industry working with Telstra, Lucent and Alcatel.
Rossi said Hoppe’s appointment reaffirmed Huawei’s commitment to
growing its presence in the local marketplace, and his experience in
the telecom industry would “serve Huawei well” as the company continued
to build on, and develop, strong relationships with local industry.
