A Distinguished Professional Legacy

Neokleous, who assumed the CEO role in January 2019 following board approval and ministerial confirmation, brings a wealth of expertise to the telecommunications sector. A holder of a Master of Engineering in Electrical and Electronic Engineering as well as a PhD in Telecommunications & Digital Signal Processing from Imperial College London, his academic credentials are matched by his extensive professional experience.

Prior to joining Cyta, Neokleous held key leadership roles at MTN from October 2011 to November 2016, where he managed business and customer experience divisions, as well as serving as General Manager for the IT subsidiary IBSCY Ltd. He later founded Xperology, serving as its CEO, and subsequently joined Demstar Business Solutions as Director of Business Services before being appointed CEO of Cyta.

Implications for the Industry

Neokleous’s exit not only signals a personal career milestone but also reflects a broader trend of executive mobility within the telecommunications industry. As Cyta embarks on the search for new leadership, the industry will be watching closely to see how this transition shapes future strategic directions and market performance.

October 21, 2026

The technology distributor ASBIS Group, headquartered in Limassol, has exceeded $1 billion in monthly sales for the first time in its history, reporting preliminary consolidated revenue of $1.05 billion in September 2026, more than three times the amount recorded a year earlier.

The figure represents a 216% increase from $332 million in September 2025, making it the highest-revenue month in the company’s history.

ASBIS reported its strongest sales growth in servers and server components, while CEO Serhei Kostevitch pointed to growing demand for artificial intelligence solutions and computing infrastructure as an opportunity for the business.

For a company operating across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, September marked a new sales milestone following several months of substantial year-on-year growth.

Kostevitch attributed the record performance to the group’s existing operations, highlighting its broad product portfolio, international market presence and strong relationships with manufacturers and trading partners.

“Most importantly, this result is the outcome of our regular operating activities,” he said.

The CEO also highlighted the company’s portfolio of projects as a reason for confidence in continued AI-related development.

However, the group’s growth was not limited to AI-related technologies. Smartphones also performed strongly in September, with Kostevitch stressing that “we are growing beyond the AI segment as well.”

Kazakhstan, the United Arab Emirates and Ukraine accounted for the largest shares of ASBIS’s September revenue, followed by Slovakia and Poland.

Growth Follows Record First Half

September’s results follow a period of strong financial performance for ASBIS.

In July, the company reported preliminary consolidated revenue of $531 million, an increase of 89% compared with the same month in 2025. August brought a further rise to $604 million, up 91% year on year.

September’s $1.05 billion figure represents a substantial increase on both months, although the company has not provided a detailed breakdown explaining the acceleration.

The results also follow a record first half of 2026, when ASBIS generated approximately $2.97 billion in consolidated revenue, up 76% year on year.

Net profit after tax reached $80.6 million, compared with $19.4 million in the same period in 2025.

The second quarter was particularly strong, with revenue reaching $1.69 billion, an increase of 78.7%, while quarterly net profit more than tripled to $44.3 million.

ASBIS has emphasised that its September revenue figures are preliminary estimates and may differ from the final reported results.
