Monty Mobile – Striving for Excellence and Innovation in the Telecom Industry
Founded in 1998 by Chairman Mountasser Hachem, Monty Mobile – a part of Monty Holding Group – is a globally renowned GSMA certified, open connectivity hub and roaming broker that reaches 120 countries. Alongside an ambitious CEO, with a wealth of experience in multiple business ventures, within the telecommunications industry, the company boasts an internationally placed board of directors, each with their own unique and impressive skill-set; placing Monty Mobile at the forefront of opportunities within the growing digital market.
Mountasser Hachem set up his first company – MediaTech Communications at the age of 30. Since then, Monty (as he likes to be called) has developed an exceptional reputation, inspiring his international team of employees to refer to him as ‘a one of a kind, CEO’. Other board members, include; Hassan Kabbani, former CEO of Middle Eastern telecoms giant, Zain; Biola Alabi, based in Nigeria, who was named a ‘Young Global Leader’ by the WEF (World Economic Forum) in 2012 and after a success of philanthropic enterprises is now CEO of her own Media and Entertainment Consultancy; Jean Jaques Pany, is based in France and has an MSc in Mechanical Engineering. Jean-Jaques is the former Vice President of Orange Europe and is now the President of a telecom investment company, which targets growth-based on innovation; Susanne Hannestad, specializes in FinTech and is Board Director for a number of international tech companies. She is now the CEO of FinTech Mundi, a global financial solutions consultancy that helps high-potential financial technology companies develop their ideas, commercialize their products and grow their businesses internationally; Joshua Smythwood, based in London, has over 18 years’ experience as a senior leader for various multi-national operators and telecom service providers.
Such a dynamic and well-established board, enables Monty Mobile to drive their mission in helping operators maximize their revenue, by offering a range of innovative solutions, developed by their team of experts. In the last decade, operators across the globe have seen a consistent decline in revenue as a result of OTT (Over the Top) services such as instant messaging, that bypass the operator, in spite of their critical need for network, in order to function.
The emergence of 5G and IoT has once again brought the role of operators and telcos to the forefront of the rapidly advancing digital world and connects them to many opportunities that could consolidate their role as key-players in the telecommunications sector. Furthermore, the current COVID-19 crisis has also placed operators on the global stage – to support and assist the worldwide pandemic. Monty Mobile provides solutions to help operators see an opportunity in every challenge. Now, more than ever, the world is in need of innovative communication and FinTech services that make daily procedures simpler, protect our safety and reach out to the world’s most vulnerable populations. With this in mind, Monty Mobile has developed a range of new services, which incorporate the above and aim to elevate and enhance the role of operators in the international digital revolution.
