Lastly, Ahmed El Sayed will become UK IT Director in addition to taking on the function leadership of Digital Engineering for the Group’s newly established European Digital & IT Team.
Both Andrea and Ahmed will join the board of Vodafone UK.
Commenting on the appointments, Ahmed Essam, CEO of Vodafone UK said: “The creation of these new roles in Vodafone UK is the next step in Vodafone’s creation of European-wide network and digital teams, with a common strategy that leverages our scale, and which Andrea and Ahmed can localise and implement for the UK market.
