SEACOM’s journey into Africa has seen many highs and lows. Speaking to CEO Brian Herlihy, one of his greatest highs was being seated on stage next to four African presidents.

As part of the US-Africa Business summit that was hosted last year by the Corporate Council on Africa in the US, four African heads of state participated in a Presidential Roundtable on regional integration. Herlihy, along with the presidents of Rwanda, Ghana, the Republic of Congo and Sao Tome, participated.
