Two years after its launch in Jamaica, in 2001, Colm Delves was appointed CEO of the Digicel Group and presided over the global expansion of the company across 31 markets. This gracious Irishman lived in Jamaica for 12 of the 14 years at the company, and with his dear wife Paula and daughter Hannah, was embraced by a large Jamaican circle of friends. We loved that Colm, a musician in his own right, became a fan of our rhythms, naming the Third World band his favourite. Hannah attended a local school and serves as a young ambassador for Mustard Seed Communities.
Colm Delves was that calm centre of the Digicel dynamic. It was a privilege to experience his inspiring leadership; never drawing attention to his achievements because he was too busy congratulating his colleagues for theirs. Despite his incredible schedule, he somehow made time for everyone and was unstinting in his guidance and mentorship. After his retirement as CEO Colm continued to serve on the Digicel Board.
After several months of battling cancer, Colm passed away today, leaving his dear wife Paula, daughter Hannah, parents, brothers other family members and friends and colleagues to mourn the loss of this precious life we were blessed to share in. Rest in Peace Colm 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
