PANGEA SWELLS TEAM
WITH DOUBLE HIRE
PANGEA HAVE KICKED off 2019 with two new
additions to their Ops Team. The new recruits
include Network Engineer, Juan Pablo Paolillo
(top right), who brings with him international
telecoms experience and a serious love of
books; and Line Engineer Nimesh Patel (top
left), his broadband network pedigree is as
impressive as his passion for cricket.
This surge of expertise within their Ops Team
will help them handle the fast-growing takeup
of both cellular Ethernet and private APN
connectivity sweeping the Channel; both have
come straight from engineering roles within
mobile and broadband network operators.
“We’re excited to have Juan Pablo and
Nimesh join the ranks as Pangea pushes
outwards in all directions,” said Pangea Ops
Director Chris Romeika. “We pride ourself on our
technical expertise and experience in IoT and
all things cellular. Bolstered by the prowess of
our new recruits, we look forward to continuing
on our journey of innovation in 2019!”
