Angel Telecom Holding AG located in Baar, Switzerland and traded
on the Third Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange under the symbol
AGLT announced today that Roland Josef Bopp joined Angel Americas
LLC, New York as the new Chief Executive Officer, effective August
5, 2013. Mr. Bopp’s appointment by the Board of Director’s is a
strategic response to the expected dynamic growth and expansion in
the Americas. Angel Americas LLC acquired the assets of several
companies during the first half of 2013. The Company markets
prepaid calling cards, and other prepaid voice and mobile products
and is a dominant player in the U.S. retail voice product market
targeting immigrant communities in the United States.
Prior to joining Angel Americas LLC, Mr. Bopp served in
leadership roles of major established, early stage and emerging
telecom service organizations in the Americas and Europe.
Mr. Bopp brings more than 20 years of executive leadership in
telecom service organizations in North America, Central and South
America, as well as in Western and Eastern Europe. His most recent
position was Chairman, President & CEO of the Americas for
Deutsche Telekom Inc., a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom of Germany,
which was based in New York. Over a period of three years, he led
the successful expansion of that business via both organic growth
and through acquisitions in the Americas. Prior to that, he was
managing director of Mannesmann, a $20 billion telecom and
engineering company which was acquired by Vodafone in 2000. While
at Mannesmann, Mr. Bopp was one of the key members of the executive
management team which led Mannesmann to become one of the most
successful cellphone operators in Europe. He also managed the
marketing/sales organization of the geostationary satellite
operator based in the United States and a number of telecom sector
private equity funds with wireless properties located in Eastern
Europe.
“Roland brings tremendous business acumen and global contacts to
this position,” said Mr. Peter Waneck, Chairman of the Board of
Directors of Angel Americas LLC. “His understanding of the industry
and customer requirements and his experience in building and
expanding companies in the Americas and Europe is invaluable as we
continue to build Angel Americas into a strong telecom contender in
the Americas.”
“I am very pleased to join Angel Americas at this strategic
moment,” said Roland Bopp. “The Company’s market position and
recent acquisitions have established the right structure for the
next phase of growth.”
