She will lead a focused and dedicated operating team in the Swiss market building on a proven track record of delivering value to customers and shareowners at every stop in her 10-year career with us. At the same time, Eric will bring critical focus to our strategic planning and stakeholder relations in Switzerland, as well as continued leadership in our Eastern European operations as we prepare for the closing of the Vodafone transaction and evaluate our opportunities in this region.”
Pascu said: “I’m very excited about the opportunity to bring my energy and operating experience to our business in Switzerland. We have a long track record of innovation and growth in this market, and I’m certain we have the networks, products and passion to build on our leadership position in one of Europe’s most advanced digital markets.”
