The ouster of Vivendi SA Chief Executive Officer Jean-Bernard Levy has caused another executive to rethink his plans at the company.
Vodafone Group Plc’s Michel Combes, who was due to take over Vivendi’s SFR phone unit, decided not to proceed with a move because Levy’s removal reduced his chances of becoming CEO in the future, according to three people who were briefed after the discussions. They asked not to be identified because the matter is not public.
