Former COO Fayaz King Returns to Lead Econet InfraCo
Econet Wireless Zimbabwe has appointed its former Chief Operating Officer, Fayaz King, as the Chief Executive Officer of its newly established infrastructure subsidiary, Econet InfraCo.
King is making a return to the telecommunications giant after departing in 2019 to serve as Assistant Secretary-General at the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). He is set to assume his new role on 1 March 2026.
Econet InfraCo is expected to list on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange (VFEX) toward the end of March, subject to shareholder approval of Econet’s proposed delisting from the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange and transition to an over-the-counter trading platform overseen by the VFEX.
