Joining us from Digi on the Breakfast Grille are its CEO Lars-Ake Norling and COO Albern Murty, who will take over the mantle of CEO from April 1.


Digi is the third largest telco in the country with net profit for 2014 coming in at RM2 billion on the back of RM7 billion in revenue.


However, Lars was appointed CEO just in August, hence his departure just six months later has raised eyebrows. Albern will be the first Malaysian CEO to head the telco, whose major shareholder is Norway''s Telenor.


Albern takes over at a challenging time for the telcos as they switch from legacy services to data, so we ask about transition teething problems, the heavy expectations on both men's shoulders and the challenge of their former CEO.
