Anthony Smith

It is with deep regret that the RJRGLEANER Communications Group announces the passing of its chief executive officer (CEO), Mr Anthony Smith, who died earlier this morning after a brief period of illness.

Mr Smith joined the RJRGLEANER Communications Group on October 1, 2022, as deputy CEO for print and digital and was appointed CEO in January 2024.

Anthony was an engineer by training and held executive roles in telecommunications in Jamaica and the wider Caribbean, including at Cable & Wireless and Massy Technologies

Limited.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Anthony’s immediate and extended family at this difficult time.
