T-Mobile USA’s ex-CEO Phiipp Humm has been promoted by new employer Vodafone amid a restructuring at the European carrier.
Vodafone today announced that it will merge its Northern & Central Europe and Southern Europe regions into one Europe region and will report its Turkish operating company within the Africa, Middle East and Asia-Pacific region from that date given that country’s emerging market characteristics.
Back in 2012, Humm abruptly left T-Mobile USA to take on the role of regional CEO of Northern & Central Europe for Vodafone. With the restructuing Humm will become Vodafone’s regional CEO for all of Europe.
Vodafone says the changes will allow it to implement its consumer and enterprise plans more quickly and consistently, accelerate growth in unified communications and achieve greater efficiencies from scale.
Vodafone also announced that it is creating a new division that oversee brand, consumer, unified communications, terminals, customer operations and partner markets. It will also encompass the recently-created enterprise division.
Paolo Bertoluzzo, currently regional CEO of Southern Europe, will be responsible for this function as group chief commercial and operations officer.
