Rajen Pillay - Managing Director: Huge Business Support
 |
Rajen Pillay started his telecoms career in 1988 as a technician with Teleboss, a PABX company, after studying for a diploma in analytical chemistry. He spent 12 years at Teleboss, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Siltek. The last position that he held at Teleboss was that of technical manager. In 2000, Rajen was head-hunted by Orion Telecom to join them as the Development Manager in the research and development department. He spent four years in R&D and was instrumental in developing LCR products for the company. |
This saw Orion become a market leader in LCR technology. Rajen designed and implemented the first locally developed digital LCR solution in South Africa. In 2005, Rajen moved into Orion’s operations division as the National Service Manager and then later as National Operations Manager.
With the sale of Orion to Vox Telecom in 2007, Rajen was promoted to Operations Director where he had responsibility for a staff complement of approximately 100 people and a company with an annual turnover approaching R1bn. Rajen was instrumental in merging two other group companies into Orion in 2007.
