Altán Redes Appoints Zaira Pérez Salinas as First Female Director General

Her appointment activates a formal notification to Mexico’s telecom authority following a five-month vacancy.

Overview

  • Zaira Pérez Salinas, former head of Promtel, was ratified by Altán’s board today as its first woman to lead the public-private operator.
  • Her selection fills the executive leadership gap created by Carlos Lerma’s departure in February.
  • Altán must notify the Federal Telecommunications Institute under its bylaws ahead of the regulator’s imminent transformation into the Comisión Reguladora de Telecomunicaciones.
  • The operator’s nationwide 4.5G Red Compartida network generated over 9,000 million pesos in revenue last year under state-backed financing.
  • More than 140 mobile virtual network operators rely on Altán’s infrastructure to serve over 20 million mobile subscriptions nationwide.
