The Head of Product and Operations, Sub Sahara Africa, HMD Global, Patrick Henchie serves the African market from the Republic of South Africa. In this interview, he speaks about his company’s mobile phone portfolio and how they have diversified from feature phone to smartphones within a short time frame. Excerpts ….I remember the launch event we had in Nigeria a little over a year ago, and I have been back since.
We were still selling Nokia feature phones. But, it’s just over a year we have been selling our pure secured up to date smartphones in Nigeria.We are still very much in that segment. It’s still a very key part in our business and what we are looking at is that is building a portfolio that we can always service any comfortably. So now we have got a wide portfolio rather than just having one device for one individual.
