Ah! It was broadcasted everywhere at the time he was been appointed. i ma sure if you check through the numerous pages on this thread, you will see the link. I think Proshare shared a profile on him.
Abeg, is there any untruth in this? cos I don't trust this Transcorpse guys

They have started again.

Towards the ending of last year that was how they made so much noise about the company. I remember Tom shouting all over the Newspapers (Businessday to be precise) that they have put some investments in motion that will yield a positive effect in Transcorp that everyone will be able to see within six weeks.

Exactly seven weeks after that the rumor came that the Federal Government wanted to revoke the sale of Nitel. I was horrified. Now, they are at it again. They should do something that will talk for itself and stop politicking over the place.

I no blame them sha. The FG is owned by politicians and the FG owns lots of shares in Nitel, which is supposed to be the main pillar of Transcorp and they are used to making noise. Who do they think they are fooling?

So what was he in Pepsi if he was ever there? I would have actually been very surprised if a former CFO of Pepsi will take a job in Transcorp.

This is what his former firm says hi did at Pepsi: "Ran Sales Operations for Pepsi-Cola Company for the entire United States about 70% of the company’s Sales…Sales grew significantly while operating costs declined simultaneously". There is no mention of CFO.

Tom Iseghohi


Check the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph of this link where I pulled this quote "By 1997, he reported directly to Pepsi-Cola's chief financial officer". Reporting directly to CFO has suddenly turned into he's CFO.

So he did a facelift on his CV when he applied for Transcorp's job then.

Lets hope he would turn the company around but i know that transcorp would be a hard meat to chew for him.

Wow, so Tom is a performer. We look forward to him repeating simillar performance in Transcorp. On title, I think we are too much bent on titles in Nigeria. That is why there are so so many Chiefs, Oba's, Eze's, Emirs etc. Nigerians will head for a title even if they deliver no positive results . That is why many Men and Women in Nigeria wear a suit in the Hot Sun.

my brother wetin we go do na

Tom could have been/claimed the 'wonder boy' of corporate america. It makes no impact now. A performer is as good as his last act, so I wonder why it is taking him this long to replicate the 'success' story at transcorp. That is where it matters not on the pages of newspaper. I hate to think I still have 1m units of this stuf (bought at N9 each) in my portifolio.

Not in Nija.
Is it the bad governent having hand in Transcorp?
or our environment that some idiots change everything overnight at the expense of the ordinary man?
or the quack and corrupt workers of Nitel/Mtel that give less and want to take more?
We even learnt there are some hidden nitel revenue that Transcorp doesn't know.

Unless something good come transcorp tomorrow, it will be a big stain on Tom's CV.

My brothers in pain (at least those of us who are waiting to recover from our Transcorp investment) we need to be careful in our estimations and expectations of Tom; particularly on what he may or may not have achieved in corporate America. We have seen and heard of many of our brothers in Diaspora who have come with wonderful stories of success and have not been able to perform. Nigeria has a very peculiar business terrain where even the best of the best will struggle

Thank you for your point my brother, Tom may be able to turn Trancorp around in the long run, but it will be easier for him to start and manage a new company than to turn Transcorp around. Though Transorp is now a private sector company e.g Nitel, many of its staff and even the goverment still treat it like a public sector/civil service company. And to succeed in Nigeria's peculiar business terrain, he has to be politically and politrickally inclinde. so i hope he is? He is welcomed.

chei, don't allow transcorpse people to catch you o

....nigerian cynicism.

Tom is highly respected and is working hard to transform a moribund company. Ofcourse we wouldn't let him do just that - everyone is expecting a quick-fix solution. Whatever, they still have Patrick Okigbo ( former Citi group vice president) in transcorp. He joined just after Tom.

I suggest people give them some time to fix things. As for investors, the choice is clear: sell now, count your losses and move on or stay put and hope for the best. I take exception to casting aspersions on some of nigeria's brightest and most distinguished business leaders.
