Teraco has expanded its executive leadership as it positions the company for its next stage of growth, driven by sustained investment in data centre infrastructure across South Africa to meet increasing demand from cloud computing, artificial intelligence and enterprise customers.
Samuel Erwin, who has served as Teraco's Chief Financial Officer since 2020, has been appointed Managing Director and will report to Chief Executive Officer Jan Hnizdo. In his new role, Erwin will take on broader operational responsibilities, enhancing the company's execution capabilities as it scales its platform. He will also lead the development of Teraco's long-term energy strategy, including the rollout of its first utility-scale solar project, which is already in progress.
Teraco said the leadership expansion reflects the growing complexity of its operations as it continues to build capacity in line with evolving client requirements and rapid growth in digital workloads.
