“Our performance has not been good enough. To achieve consistent results, Vodafone it has to change,” he said Of the valley in a statement. “We will simplify our organization, cutting complexity to recover our competitiveness”, added the top manager, who was confirmed as CEO at the beginning of May after a five-month interim.
Its predecessor Nick Read he resigned in early December after a four-year term marred by a sharp drop in the company’s stock price. He left office when Vodafone was in talks to merge its UK operations with its rival Three UKowned by CK Hutchison, based in Hong Kong. According to media reports, a deal worth £15 billion ($18.7 billion) is nearing completion.
