The Apex Group's driving mission has been to expand sales in EMEA for IT and telecom companies. With the credit crunch of 2009, the need to grow revenues is even greater than before even though the budgets with which to do this have tightened or dissipated.
With its existing sales offices in Athens and Riyadh, the Apex Group has had tremendous reach into the Eastern European and Middle Eastern markets. To continue to drive its growth and deliver value to its suppliers, the Apex Group is investing additional resources into the African region.
Today the Apex Group begins that investment by hiring Mr. Ejimofor Akah as a Sales Consultant in Nigeria to help grow the Apex Group's Carrier Services and Network Optimization Services.
With nearly 155 million people, Nigeria is not only the largest country in Africa, but with 11 million internet users it is only the second largest in terms of internet penetration. With the new submarine cable systems connecting Nigeria this and next year — including Glo-1, WACS, Main One and ACE — Nigeria is poised for a significant increase in internet subscribers and services.
Alex Giannikoulis, the Apex Group's CEO, stated, "As an Outsourced Salesforce for our suppliers, our goal is to find, develop and maintain business in markets where our suppliers have little reach or experience. With the delays and high cost of doing business in Nigeria, many of our suppliers have faced challenges here. That's why it was important for me to find a knowledgeable, professional, and local sales person that could assist our Regional Sales Managers and our suppliers. Ejim brings a wealth of telecommunications background and respect from the service providers he's worked with. I am very glad to have him join our team."
