Marek Busfy is a seasoned telecommunications executive with more than 20 years of leadership experience driving growth, innovation, and operational excellence across global markets.  He currently serves as CEO for American Tower Corporation’s Africa and Asia regions, where he oversees operations in 7 markets across Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Burkina Faso, and Niger) as well as key Asian markets, including Bangladesh and the Philippines.

Since joining American Tower in 2012 as COO, and then CEO for American Tower’s operations in South Africa, Marek has consistently delivered transformative results. In 2018, he was appointed as Chief Operating Officer for ATC Africa, where he led the execution of major strategic initiatives across the continent. These included scaling ATC Africa’s new site build program to more than 1,500 sites annually and enabling the transition to renewable energy solutions. In January 2022, Marek was promoted to CEO for the ATC Africa region, and in 2024, the Asia region was added to his expanding portfolio.

Under his leadership, ATC Africa continues to advance its vision to “build a more connected Africa” in a part of the world where fewer than one in three people have access to the internet. Marek is widely recognized for his strategic vision, deep market insight, and ability to lead cross-regional teams through complex, high-growth environments.

Beyond connectivity, Marek is a passionate advocate for digital inclusion and education.  He champions initiatives that promote digital literacy, empowering underserved communities to participate in Africa’s socio-economic transformation and become agents of change.

Prior to joining American Tower, Marek held senior leadership roles at global technology firms including Eaton, Siemens and Ericsson. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and an MBA.
