The Raxio Group are scaling rapidly, investing in and building state-of-the-art Tier III data centres across Eastern and Southern Africa, addressing latent demand for critical infrastructure to facilitate digital transformation across the region.
To fuel ongoing growth, Raxio were in need of a strategic Group CFO experienced in Corporate Finance, a VP of Strategy, and multiple in-country Managing Directors.
Given the nascency of carrier neutral data centres in the region, and therefore the nascency of the direct talent pool, it was instrumental to take creative avenues to access best-in-class candidates.
To ensure that we had comprehensively covered all routes to talent, we:
Leveraged our international presence, network and experience conducting borderless searches across over 40 countries within Africa and many more beyond.
Drew upon our deep network throughout digital infrastructure, telecommunications, real estate, and other capital-intensive industries.
Beyond simply bringing the necessary functional and management expertise, the successful candidates were also deeply aligned with Raxio’s values. The group continues to expand faster than ever through both effective in-country leadership, effective financial management & fundraising, and strategic entry into high potential markets.
