About Lazer Telecom
Lazer Telecom is an independent internet service provider based in the Algarve. For more than 38 years, we’ve been helping local homes and businesses stay connected through a combination of our own network, local expertise and real human customer support.
From our technical teams in the field to the people answering the phone, Lazer is built around one idea: better connectivity should come with better service.
An Algarve Company Built Locally
Lazer Telecom was built to solve a simple problem: internet in the Algarve wasn’t good enough. Too slow. Too unreliable. Too hard to get support when something went wrong. So we built a local telecom company that does things differently from big telecom companies, focused on performance, transparency, and real human support. Today, we connect homes, businesses, and rural properties across the Algarve using fibre and wireless connectivity solutions.
What makes Lazer different
Our impact in the Algarve
Since 1988, Lazer Telecom has grown alongside the Algarve, connecting thousands of homes, businesses, holiday properties and rural communities across the region.
We continue to invest in our own infrastructure and expand into areas where reliable connectivity can still be difficult to access. Today, our network supports local families, businesses, remote workers and international residents who call the Algarve home.
And while the technology has changed a lot since we started, one thing hasn’t: we’re still local, still independent, and still here when you need us.

Meet the Lazer team
From our technical teams in the field to the people answering the phone, Lazer is built around one idea: better connectivity should come with better service.
Des Wynne
CEO
Des joined Lazer Telecom in 2022 and leads the company’s continued growth across the Algarve, from expanding the network to improving the way we serve customers. He keeps Lazer moving forward with the same energy he brings to cycling — although thankfully most business meetings involve fewer hills.
Miguel Piedade
CFO
Miguel joined Lazer in 2022 and keeps the financial side of the business running with the same precision our network demands. From planning investment to keeping the numbers on track, he helps make sure Lazer can continue growing sustainably. Away from the spreadsheets, you’ll usually find him on a padel court, where he’s every bit as competitive.
Carlos Rosário
CTO
Carlos has been part of Lazer since 2010 and knows the network inside out. As CTO, he oversees the technology and infrastructure behind the connections our customers rely on every day. Calm on the surface, moving at full speed underneath, if something technical needs solving, Carlos is usually already on it.
Tony Kennan
Sales Manager
Tony joined Lazer in 2021 and leads the sales team, helping customers find the right connectivity solution for their home or business. He combines years of customer experience with an unmistakably Irish approach to conversation. You may not always catch every word, but somehow everything makes perfect sense by the end.
Pedro Teixeira
Help desk Manager
Pedro has been with Lazer since 2020 and leads the team customers turn to when they need help. From everyday questions to urgent connectivity issues, he makes sure problems are dealt with quickly, clearly and by a real person. He normally does all of this with a coffee nearby. Usually several.
Nelson Guedes
Finance manager
Nelson joined Lazer in 2017 and helps keep the company’s finances organised, accurate and running smoothly. His natural habitat is Excel, where spreadsheets, formulas and pivot tables appear to behave very differently for him than they do for the rest of us. We’ve stopped asking how.
Howard Lopes
Tech Team Manager
Howard has been with Lazer since 2015 and has played a major role in building the technical department behind our network and installations. He leads the teams responsible for keeping customers connected and projects moving forward. Persistent is probably the polite word for it, once Howard decides a problem can be solved, it usually is.
Mark Guerreiro
It manager
Mark is responsible for the systems and IT infrastructure that keep Lazer working behind the scenes. From internal technology to security and everyday technical problems, he has a habit of fixing things before most people realise they were broken. Quiet, methodical and almost suspiciously calm, that’s exactly how he likes it.
Tiago Dias
Office Manager
Tiago joined Lazer in 2020 and keeps the operational side of the office under control. Equipment, stock, vehicles, logistics, if it moves, has a serial number or comes with a set of keys, Tiago probably knows where it is. Originally from Madeira, he brings a useful amount of island calm to a very busy telecom company.
Catarina Guerreiro
Marketing
Catarina joined Lazer in 2023 and manages the brand, campaigns, content and communications that connect Lazer with customers across the Algarve. From social media and design to digital campaigns and everything in between, if you’ve seen Lazer somewhere, there’s a good chance she had something to do with it. One-person marketing department. Somehow still functioning.
Jorge Guerreiro
Tech Team Leader
Jorge has been with Lazer since 2013 and is one of the most experienced members of the technical team. He helps lead installations and field work across the Algarve, bringing more than a decade of hands-on knowledge to the job. He also brings enough volume and enthusiasm to make sure the rest of the office knows exactly when he has arrived.
Emiliano Ridolfi
Help Desk team leader
Emiliano joined Lazer in 2022 and helps lead the team on the front line of customer support. He works with customers and colleagues to resolve issues quickly and keep the help desk running smoothly. Born and raised in Argentina, he brings plenty of energy, personality and just enough Italian vibes (because of the name) to keep the office permanently confused about his nationality.
