Helios Towers appoints Manjit Dhillon as permanent CFO

(Sharecast News) - Helios Towers has appointed Manjit Dhillon as its new chief financial officer with effect from 1 January 2021.
Dhillon has been Head of Investor Relations and Corporate Finance at the telecommunications company since 2016 and has overseen transactions including the recent $1bn debt refinancing and the acquisition of more than 1,200 towers to enter the new market of Senegal.

Helios also said he played a key role throughout the group's IPO on the London Stock Exchange in 2019.

Dhillon was appointed interim CFO in July 2020 after then-CFO Tom Greenwood took up the position of chief operating officer. Helios said he will continue to have responsibility for corporate finance and investor relations, with specific duties undertaken by colleagues in the finance team.

Chairman Sir Sam Jonah said: "I am delighted to be able to announce Manjit's appointment following a thorough recruitment process. Since 2016, Manjit has proven himself to be a highly capable individual and his appointment, from a large field of candidates, is well deserved."
