Newly launched Rain, which offers LTE-Advanced network, has appointed Gareth Tindall as chief operating officer.
Tindall will be responsible for all operating divisions across the business.
Tindall’s experience includes sales and marketing director at Dimension Data for 15 years, CEO of Hertz Car Rental, Commissioner for the SA PGA Sunshine Tour, CEO of Kelly Group, and business consultant at Investec.
Rain has to date rolled out over 750 Sites and is on track to meet a target of 2,000 by the end of the year, 5,000 by the end of 2018 and ultimately 10,000 in the coming years.
