(Telecompaper) Telecom Italia (TIM) has announced the appointment of Vivendi's chief convergence officer Amos Genish as its new general manager for operations, confirming earlier reports. Genish previously headed Vivo, the Brazilian unit of Spain's Telefonica, a position he took following the merger of Vivo and broadband operator GVT. Co-founded by Genish, GVT was acquired by Vivendi in 2009 and then sold to Telefonica in 2014. In a statement released shortly after reporting first-half results and confirming the exit of CEO Flavio Cattaneo after just 16 months, TIM said Genish will now oversee all of the company's operations and be based in Rome. Vivendi CEO and new TIM chairman Arnaud de Puyfontaine is temporarily taking over most of Cattaneo's responsibilities.
