Olufemi Arosanyin joins KXT Energy's Nigeria Board

KXT Energy has appointed Olufemi "Femi" Arosanyin as Vice Chairman and Non-Executive Director of its Nigeria Board, bringing more than two decades of executive leadership across the telecommunications and digital infrastructure sectors in Africa and international markets.

Femi most recently served as Executive Director at IHS Towers, one of the world's leading independent owners, operators, and developers of shared telecommunications infrastructure, where he contributed to the strategic direction of the board of IHS Towers Nigeria. He previously served as Chief Executive Officer of IHS Cameroon and, before that, as Chief Commercial Officer of IHS Nigeria.

Before joining IHS Towers, Femi spent nearly a decade with Ericsson, including as Managing Director of Ericsson Cameroon and Key Account Director for Nigeria, where he managed the company's largest business portfolio in Sub-Saharan Africa. His earlier career included engineering and operational leadership roles with Aperto Networks in the United States, THISS Technologies in Singapore, and Telecom Technologies International in Nigeria.

He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria, and a Master of Science in Satellite Applications from the International Space University, France, alongside executive programmes at Harvard Business School, INSEAD, London Business School, Lagos Business School, Yale University, and Strathmore Business School. He is a registered member of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).

"Femi has spent his career building and running the telecommunications infrastructure that African economies depend on, and that operating discipline is exactly what our Nigeria Board needs as we scale," said Nnanna Anyanwu, CEO of KXT Energy.

Andy Baker, KXT's Global Board Chairman, added: "Femi has actually built and run the shared towers and networks that operators across Nigeria and Cameroon lease every day. That hands-on infrastructure experience is exactly what we need in the room as our own footprint grows."
