Raxio Group has appointed Maria Miguel Pinto as the new General Manager of Raxio Angola. Her appointment strengthens Raxio’s leadership team with one of Angola’s most prominent digital industry executives.
Pinto joins Raxio from IBM, where she served as the Country General Manager for Angola. She has also held senior technology roles in the banking sector, notably as Chief Information Officer at Banco de Fomento Angola (BFA), one of the country’s largest financial institutions. With over 15 years of experience delivering enterprise technology solutions across various sectors, she brings a valuable blend of strategic insight, operational expertise, and local knowledge to her new role.
“This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to Angola’s digital future during a time of significant momentum. Raxio’s mission to build world-class infrastructure across Africa aligns with my passion for leveraging technology to foster inclusive growth, and I am focused on developing a stronger, more resilient local digital ecosystem,” said Pinto.
Raxio Group operates Tier III-compliant data centres across Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Côte d’Ivoire, with new facilities underway in Angola and Tanzania. The company’s carrier-neutral colocation centres offer flexibility and cost savings by enabling interconnection with multiple network and internet service providers, serving a diverse range of clients.
As the new General Manager, Pinto will oversee all aspects of Raxio’s Angola operations, including customer engagement, regulatory compliance, and strategic development. Her leadership comes as Raxio prepares to expand its infrastructure footprint in Angola, supporting the country’s economic diversification away from oil dependence through digital infrastructure development.
“Maria combines technical expertise, business acumen, and a deep understanding of Angola’s digital and economic landscape. Her leadership will be crucial as we scale our operations and support Angola’s digital transformation journey,” said Robert Skjødt, CEO of Raxio Group.
