> Vodafone CEO Arun Sarin to step down
Bookmark topic
After five years at the helm of the world's largest phone company, Arun Sarin is leaving his CEO spot at Vodafone at the ripe old age of 53. His #2, Vittorio Colao, the current Regional CEO of Southern Europe, Middle East and Africa for Vodafone, will be taking the top spot, with the handover to happen on July 29th.
Sarin's rule of Vodafone included a failed bid for AT&T Wireless and considerable expansion into emerging markets like India, Turkey and Romania. It's certainly paid off for the company, with full-year profits of $13.25 billion. According to the man himself, "I've done what I came here to do. The time is right and the time is now." It does appear he'll be sticking around a bit in an advisory role, and rumor has it his next gig will be private equity-related.

Yeah its like i have not been on Voda for years now and the icons have not changed one bit its all so one colour. They could at least make the icons a little more 3D what with todays technology. Orange are just as bad their branding looks like its been drawn by a childs crayon. Anyway i got nothing against Vodafone at good network though i hate their call quality outdated image and their network reliability is not the best. Oh well just a few things anyway lol
