Under its Ambition 2025 strategy, the MTN group is streamlining its focus into three principal platforms of connectivity, fintech and digital Infrastructure.
The board believes this three-platform approach will best position the group to capture value from the structural growth opportunities brought about by data adoption and financial inclusion across Africa.
“Within the connectivity platform, we see opportunities in winning the home, as well as simplifying and consolidating our digital offerings to accelerate their growth,” it outlines in a statement. “InfFintech, we are leveraging our solid foundation to transform the business into a scaled, digital-first platform.
“We are enhancing our positioning in the digital infrastructure business to better enable the exponential growth in digital workloads, as well as infusing AI across the business for value creation.
“This approach will enrich our ability to leverage the strengths of our established businesses and rapidly scale the emerging ones,” it adds.
The group has also made a number of executive committee (exco) changes, which will become effective from 1 November 2025:
