2017-09-29 08:38:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telecom Italia (TIM) has appointed Amos Genish as its new Chief Executive Officer two months after he was named general manager for operations. A former Israeli army captain, Genish previously headed Vivo, the Brazilian unit of Spain's Telefonica, a position he took following the merger of Vivo and broadband operator GVT, before being named Vivendi's chief convergence officer. The appointment is seen as a further sign of the French media giant's influence over TIM, where it's the leading shareholder via a 24 percent stake and two-thirds of the company's board. The board also announced that TIM's current deputy chairman Giuseppe Recchi will have organisational responsibility for the operator's Security Department, responsible, including key assets such as international operator Sparkle and ICT subsidiary Telsy.
