This afternoon.
The Puerto Rico Convention Centre, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Beleaguered, debt-soaked humanitarian Denis O’Brien addresses the the third meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Action Network on ongoing hurricane recovery needs facing Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Dominica, and Antigua.
The CGI Action Network brings together leaders in government, business, and civil society to “develop strategies and solutions to address hurricane recovery needs facing the region, while laying the foundation for a more resilient future”.
Just ask Haiti.
Fight!

Dominica you say……..
Absolutely no correlation between Digicel’s business interests here,none whatsoever :)
“Digicel has signed a technology services contract with the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica. The 15-year managed services agreement is expected to enable the Dominica government to introduce digital services, reduce its ICT costs, increase productivity and create new revenue streams. Digicel will undertake the rebuilding and provisioning of telecommunications, internet, data, cloud and other ICT services to all of the Government sites – including every Government office, school, community centre, police station, post office, fire station and health centre, across the length and breadth of the island. The new network infrastructure is designed to enable the people of Dominica to initially benefit from access to 24×7 digital eGovernment services, Connected Health, Smart Learning and advanced Safe City services.”

monorail!
I think he’ll be looking for some help with Didntsell’s own disaster recovery. Hopefully the Clinton boyos will reimburse some of the investment he made with them. Might take the pressure off our lads
Dennis in Indo yesterday….journalism at its best !
“As we continue to build Digicel for the future with the power of digital firmly at the core of our ambitions, Jean-Yves is the natural leader for our business. His impressive track record leading some of the industry’s major providers – coupled with his vision and pragmatism – make him the ideal choice for the next stage of our journey.”
Charlier resigned in March last year after only 3 years at Veon,the formerly Russian based telco Vimpelcom.While there he settled a bribery scandal in Uzbekistan with Dutch and American authorities in 2016 for $795 million.The reason for his abrupt depart was the 50% fall in share price and the complete and absolute disaster of his digital strategy,its flagship Veon app had only been downloaded by roughly 8 million out of its 240 million customers.
Lets hope he has better luck this time…….impressive track record-ha ha!
“VEON seems to have become a stark illustration of what can happen when a digital transformation project goes wrong.
Hit by losses at various joint ventures and associates, VEON saw its total net loss widen to about $105 million in the January-to-March quarter, from just $5 million a year earlier. That development came after the operator slashed about 2,000 jobs, or nearly 5% of its total workforce, in 2017. Its first-quarter revenues fell 1.4%, to about $2.25 billion, compared with the year-earlier period.
While the company’s share price has gained nearly 15% on the US Nasdaq since March, to close at $3.03 on July 19, it has lost nearly a quarter of its value in the last year.
Designed to let customers access services from VEON as well as content partners such as MasterCard, a new mobile app was used by just 8.3 million of VEON’s customers globally at the end of last year, following a hard launch in September.”

Who checks the the bias of the of media bias checking media?
At €4.7bn, he’s Ireland’s richest native says the Indo, a newspaper which is owned by a company, INM which, according to allegations in the watchdog investigation, is run in the interests of Denis and the 15% shareholder.
And shure isn’t he Ireland’s answer to Andrew Carnegie!
“The businessman has significant philanthropic interests. Following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti – a key market for Digicel – he funded the restoration of Port-au-Prince’s Iron Market and his Digicel Foundation built 150 schools.
O’Brien is a strong supporter of the Special Olympics and for a time paid the wages of the Republic of Ireland football team manager. He is also a major, but low-profile, supporter of Irish rugby.”
When it all goes belly-up, he can join the Chippendales. I mean, merge with the Chipper.
He looks like he’s wintered well.
Steve Bruuuuuuuce, he’s got a big fat head…..
And didn’t he put it to good use?

blushirts want to sell irish water to him

No, they want to gift it to him
An increasingly irrelevant man on the world stage will most likely try to ‘leverage’ his ‘network on contacts’ (FG) in Ireland.
So yeah, water and whatever else Leo & Pascal can think of. For now.
