Ericsson appointed Martin Wiktorin to the role of president and unit head of the Philippines, Pacific Islands, Singapore and Brunei, effective 1 July. This expands his current role as president and country manager of Ericsson Singapore and Brunei, which he held since January 2016.
Wiktorin comes to the position with more than 20 years of Ericsson global experience, having held senior and executive leadership roles across both North East Asia and Europe. His experience includes roles as VP for System Solutions in China, leading Ericsson’s Radio Systems Business in Eastern Europe and overseeing the company’s Mobile Switching Business in Sweden.

“The Philippines has consistently registered growth in subscriber additions in the past years, and its operators continue to be amongst the most innovative in the region,” Wiktorin said. “I’m excited to take on this challenge and to have the opportunity to lead such a talented team. We are absolutely committed to helping our existing customers and new customer segments in the country to innovate and create solutions for their end users.”
