Cameron Evans, CEO of Optus Carve Out Australia Tower Network (ATN) has been a busy man. Tasked with setting up an independent towerco essentially from scratch following Optus’s sale of a 70% stake in its tower business to Australian pension fund AustralianSuper in October 2021, Cameron has been building a towerco from the ground up.
As if hiring over 30 people, refining ATN’s digital strategy and back office IT systems, and starting work on a 565-site build to suit program that was included in the terms of the sale wasn’t enough, ATN is now working hard to integrate Australia’s largest independent towerco – Axicom –following the announcement it would acquire the business on 1 April 2022.
