Swoop has announced the appointment of Anthony Camilleri as the new Head of Infrastructure.

The telecommunications company, known for its fixed wireless and wholesale network infrastructure, is strengthening its leadership team amid ongoing expansion efforts in the Australian market.

His proficiency in network design and strategic planning will be instrumental as we advance our mission to deliver world-class connectivity and strengthen our position as Australia's premier challenger in the telecommunications market."

Anthony Camilleri expressed his enthusiasm for joining the Swoop team, stating, "I am incredibly excited to join the team at Swoop at such a transformative time. This role presents yet another opportunity for me to make a meaningful impact in the company's direction, rapid growth, and evolution. Based on my years of experience, I believe that together we can deliver a competitive edge that will not only create value for our customers but also ensure long-term value for our shareholders."

He also outlined his objectives, "My primary focus will be to establish the Fibre Broadband business unit, forge strategic partnerships with industry groups, and drive broadband subscriber growth, positioning Swoop as a leading challenger in the telecommunications industry."

In his leisure time, Anthony enjoys outdoor activities, particularly involving the ocean, such as boating and fishing, along with exploring shorelines in Australia and abroad.
