MOVEMENTS

• EK in transition

Errol Miller, LIME's regional vice president for corporate communications, take on a new role as vice president of government and corporate affairs.

Miller, whose operates out of the Jamaican office in Kingston will maintain his role as chief corporate spokesman until a replacement is identified for the communications slot.

He will continue working out of the Carlton Crescent office.

"Mr Miller will be LIME's primary liaison with governments—both at the central and local levels—and other major stakeholders," said a statement from the company Thursday.

Miller has also been named chairman of the telecom's foundation, and designated head of LIME's "philanthropic portfolio", responsible for "driving the company's thrust" to provide free Internet to schools as well as community projects Caribbean-wide.

LIME referred to the new posting as a "transition".

Miller, whose new role begins "early next year", will continue reporting to Dehring.
