the telecommunications company, Vodacom, who also took him in for his year
of in-service training. What was meant to be a one-year training turned into
a permanent job in the space of just three weeks. Maxwell’s work ethic and
dedication impressed his supervisor so much that he gave him a permanent
job with full benefits even before he finished his diploma.
Maxwell graduated in 1999 and spent just eighteen months with Vodacom
before joining another telecommunication company where he was based in
Tanzania and spent three years building telephone networks. He later moved to
Mozambique to join a team to build and set up communication networks there.
When we talk of big dreamers, Maxwell comes to mind. He has built a very
colourful career in the telecommunications industry, starting at the bottom
as a trainee and working his way up to executive level. Amongst his big
achievements is being promoted three times in a space of three years, and
working as an executive to a team of over 400 employees. Another milestone
was leading the 2010 World Cup broadcast programme.
Maxwell is a world-class executive with a global business view. He has chosen
to work hard and be hands-on in all aspects of his work. In 2018 Maxwell
left the corporate sector to work on a long-term project in the medical field
with an American partner. His early dream of ensuring that people are equally
connected and entertained has been realised through his many years in the
telecommunications and information technology sector.
