Kevin Loosemore, Chief Operating Officer, Cable & Wireless, said: "Stephen Brewer has established an excellent track record in mobile telecoms over the past fifteen years. In the Caribbean, where markets are newly liberalised, Cable & Wireless is committed to competing in all sectors of telecommunications and has been working with governments to introduce a sustainable competitive environment. Mobile is an important and growing area of the business, and Stephen's skills will play a key role in developing Cable & Wireless' competitive edge."
Stephen Brewer joins Cable & Wireless from Vodafone UK, where he has been Managing Director, Sales and Distribution since October 2001.
