Woman in Telecoms Award

Last week’s World Communication Awards in Amsterdam, organised by Total Telecom, marked another remarkable moment for RETN as our very own Olena Lutsenko clinched the prestigious Woman in Telecoms Award. Her exceptional leadership and unwavering dedication have brought this well-deserved recognition to her and our entire team at RETN.

Olena has been at the forefront of our operations in the Black Sea region. Her remarkable leadership amidst challenging circumstances, especially in Ukraine, has been commendable. Alongside the team she leads, Olena has played a pivotal role in ensuring uninterrupted communication for the country and the wider region, steering her team through adversity while prioritising their safety and well-being.

Her impact goes beyond the role of Managing Director; she's been an advocate for knowledge sharing and industry progress. From the European Peering Forum in Rome to the Capacity Europe Conference in London, the ITNOG in Bologna, and the UKNOF in Manchester— she has shared invaluable insights and experiences, contributing significantly to our industry's collective knowledge.

What truly sets Olena apart is her commitment to fostering a supportive environment and to giving back. Her involvement in initiatives like OURCHILDREN, supporting children affected by war, reflects her dedication to making a positive impact beyond the professional realm.

We at RETN are immensely proud of her accomplishment and excited about the continued positive impact she brings to our team and the industry.
