LONDON -- Vanco, the pioneering global Virtual Network Operator, today announced that Diarmid Massey has been appointed as new CEO Vanco Asia-Pacific. He will be responsible for all of Vanco’s Asia-Pacific markets.

Diarmid will be based in Tokyo, and will work with the established Asia-Pacific teams to further increase sales and operational support both in Japan, and throughout the whole region. Both, the Singapore general manager, Hong Meng Lee, and Grant Ellison, general manager Australia will report to Diarmid.
