Vodafone Group Plc has appointed Italian Margherita Della Valle as its chief executive officer, ending five months of uncertainty since the challenged British telecommunications giant ousted Nick Read in December.
Della Valle, Vodafone’s chief financial officer since 2018, has been leading the company on an interim basis since Jan. 1. She’ll continue in her role as CFO until an external search for a replacement is complete, the Newbury, England-based outfit said in a statement on Thursday.
