Prime Minister explains announcement of post for BTL CEO

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: The announcement of the Chief Executive Officer position for Belize Telemedia Limited created some speculation since CEO Ivan Tesecum has been at the company since 2019.

However, Digi has responded saying that the announcement was made as the company seeks to enhance the Executive Recruitment Process.

“In alignment with our commitment to transparency and corporate governance, the Board of Directors has approved an enhanced executive recruitment policy which offers flexible approaches to attracting and retaining talent for all executive positions within the organization. This policy aims to ensure a rigorous and transparent process for selecting talent for executive leadership positions and maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance,” Digi noted.

In addition, Prime Minister John Briceno explained the process.

“In the contract, the board needs to give notice on whether the contract is going to be renewed or not.  If he is not given notice then it‘s an automatic renewal.  So what the board has decided to do is to list or make an announcement for a position of CEO.  It doesn’t mean that the present CEO cannot apply.  Of course, the present CEO can apply and if anybody else wants to apply well that is their right to apply for the job,” the Prime Minister said.

PM Briceno also indicated that the company always seeks people who are beneficial for the company’s growth.

“What we want to do, because if you look at what happened at BEL, we stayed with the present person because we believe that the CEO for BEL is good for BEL.  Mr. Mencias, that he is good for BEL, so we hired him and likewise, if the present CEO, if the board believes that he is doing a good job for the company, I am sure that they are going to hire him.  They are going to renew his contract, unless somebody anew that can bring fresh ideas or a new direction for the company comes in,” the Prime Minister expressed.
