U.K.-based AIRCOM International has appointed Alwyn Welch as CEO. Welch takes over leadership of the company’s senior management team today.
With more than 30 years of experience in IT and telecom, Welch will be in charge of driving the delivery of strategic and commercial objectives for AIRCOM, an independent provider of network management tools and services.
“I’m delighted and honoured to lead AIRCOM as we enter a period of tremendous excitement and opportunity," said Alwyn Welch, CEO, AIRCOM. “AIRCOM is a trusted, independent and proven provider of market-leading network tools and consultancy services to mobile operators around the world. I look forward to helping AIRCOM capitalise on its leadership position as the mobile industry embraces new techniques and innovations to roll out next-generation services."
Driving the evolution of AIRCOM’s I-VIEW framework, part of the company’s product and consultancy services portfolio, will be a key task for Welch going forward. I-VIEW enables mobile operators to take central control of their networks, enhance visibility end-to-end and drive significant cost and efficiency savings.
AIRCOM Chairman John Hughes, who has been performing the role of acting CEO, will remain involved in day-to-day operations and transfer overall responsibility to Welch over the coming weeks.

We’re extremely confident that Alwyn’s extensive market knowledge and sound leadership will continue to take AIRCOM forward and help the company capitalise on all new opportunities."
