Sha has been CEO of Liquid's South African business since June 2018. Before that he was CEO of IoT network operator, SqwidNet, and previously worked as chief strategy officer at Dark Fibre Africa.

"Reshaad joined the business at a time when we needed a strong leader to execute the turnaround strategy for Liquid Telecom South Africa very quickly. This wouldn't have been possible without his determination and perseverance," said group COO Ahmed Mokhales of Sha's departure.
