Emmanuel Onyeje, Microsoft Country Manager for Anglophone West African countries has moved to the Zinox Technologies Group.

His new job is termed as a strategic hire that will consolidate the Group’s position in sub Saharan Africa with interest in Personal Computers manufacturing, distributions, systems integrations and advanced ICT solutions, among others, Zinox said in a statement on Friday.

Onyeje, an ICT professional whose career has inadvertently turned out to be a summary of the development of the ICT sector in West Africa, showed an early promise three years after graduation when he originated and led a project team to develop Nigeria’s first Microsoft Windows Application in 1992.

Onyeje, a technology strategist,   turned around the fortunes of the number one global software company and achieved sustained unbroken records until he left Microsoft to join Zinox as the Group’s Chief Operating Officer, the company said.

It also said he had worked as the Chief Information Officer of the United Bank of Africa Group before joining Microsoft seven years ago. Onyeje with strong educational background at Bedford, England, also earned a Second Class Upper degree in Electrical Electronics from the University of Jos in 1989.
