PowerX, the company that delivers large-scale data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to boost the performance of mobile towers, has named Charles C Green III (Chuck Green) as director and strategic advisor.

The company said Green’s appointment reflects his belief that AI innovation is a vital need for the tower industry. “It will help agile, highly skilled tower teams adapt to fast-changing needs, including the ever-growing demand for 4G / 5G connectivity and the requirement to manage the environmental effects of this fast-paced growth,” the firm added.

Green was founding CFO and EVP at Crown Castle International from 1997-2001, the first Tower Company established in the world and the first listed on the New York Stock Exchange. He also co-founded Helios Towers Nigeria (HTN) in 2005 and was advisor and non-executive director for 10 years.

In 2009, Green co-founded and held the positions of CEO, then executive chairman for Helios Towers Africa, the pioneer of tower sale leaseback transactions in Africa, now listed on the London Stock Exchange.

“Chuck is a highly successful pioneer of the tower industry with a track record of building top class tower businesses that is second to none,” said William Mitchell, non-executive chairman at PowerX. “We are excited at the complementary skills that Chuck brings to the PowerX team.”
