About

A unique mobile top-up concept, home-grown start-up ding* (formerly ezetop) has taken off globally in a short space of time. Its founder Mark Roden was named EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2014. The product, which allows people to send others credit, gained prominence following Haiti’s 2010 earthquake, when it enabled many to keep contact with relatives trapped in its aftermath. Given the ground-breaking nature of the product, legal head Sylvia Fagan routinely faces first-of-kind issues, and has supported the business during a period of rapid global growth. Her recent highlights have including supporting ding*’s landmark entry into the Cuban market, with the purchase of Recargas a Cuba. She has also been praised for her work on data centre infrastructure contracts and successfully led negotiations over governmental sanctions.
