Cable Bahamas’ top executive has met with senior US diplomats to explore potential areas of co-operation.

Franklyn Butler II, its chief executive and president, met with Kimberly Furnish, charge d’affaires at the US embassy in Nassau, and its economic officer, Chuck Bennet, to obtain insights into the US road map for technology and discuss how these advances can help shape digital transformation in The Bahamas.

“As we continue to think about our role in technology, it is essential that we continue to understand the evolving landscape from a US perspective,” said Mr Butler. “We cannot be innovative without remaining fully connected and engaged with the rest of the world, including the US, where the technological advances are being birthed.”

The conversation extended beyond technology and into telecommunications, touching on broader possibilities for collaboration and strengthening the long-standing relationship between the two nations. 

“I am grateful for the opportunity to spend some time with charge d’affaires Kim Furnish and her team,” added Mr Butler. “It was an important step in developing a strong, continued partnership where we ensure that The Bahamas is not left behind in the global technological landscape.”
