VODAFONE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHANGE

Vodafone Group Plc announces that Aldo Bisio, will step down as CEO Vodafone Italy and a Group Executive Committee Member on 15 November 2024, to pursue an external opportunity.

 

From 15 November 2024, Aldo will remain a non-executive member of the Board of Directors of Vodafone Italy to oversee the regulatory approval process of the sale of Vodafone Italy to Swisscom.

 

Sabrina Casalta, currently CFO Vodafone Italy, will be appointed Interim CEO Vodafone Italy from 15 November 2024, through to the completion of the sale of Vodafone Italy.

 

 

Margherita Della Valle, Vodafone Group Chief Executive said: "I want to thank Aldo for his immense contribution to both our business in Italy, over many years, and the wider Vodafone Group.  In Italy, despite challenging market conditions, Vodafone has competed successfully under Aldo's leadership and developed a number of innovations adopted in our other markets.

 

More recently, he has also led the simplification and streamlining of our Group Commercial operations. I have greatly enjoyed working with Aldo and would also like to thank him for staying on in Italy to ensure a smooth transition, as we conclude our transaction with Swisscom."
