PLDT taps Panlilio as chief revenue officer

PLDT announced Alfredo S. Panlilio (AI) will return to the Philippines telco as chief revenue officer of both PLDT and its mobile unit Smart Communications, starting July 1, 2019.

Panlilio (pictured) currently serves as senior vice president of customer retail services group at the Manila Electric Company (Meralco).

He first joined PLDT as SVP for the telco’s corporate business group in 1999 and was later tasked to head PLDT’s carrier business group before he joined Meralco in 2010.

Panlilio will replace Ernesto R. Alberto (Eric), who is set to step down from his post as PLDT and Smart CRO, effective June 30.

“We would like to thank Eric for his 16 long years of service and loyalty. Under his watch, PLDT Enterprise rose to become the leading force that it is in the market today,” said Manuel V. Pangilinan, chairman and chief executive officer of PLDT and Smart.

Enea has tapped former Ericsson executive Jan Häglund as its new CEO.

Häglund was chosen to lead the company late 2018 to succeed Anders Lidbeck, who becomes chairman of the board, Enea said in a statement.

Haglund brings to the table 25 years of experience in the telecoms industry. Prior to joining Enea, he was head of Ericsson’s product portfolio and R&D for digital services.

Anders Lidbeck, chairman of Enea said Häglund will help Enea strengthen and develop its position as a reference supplier and trusted partner.

“[Häglund’s] wide-ranging experience across many disciplines at Ericsson will benefit Enea and our continued expansion,” he said.
