Italy’s Open Fiber CEO Plans to Resign Amid Tension on Strategy

Open Fiber SpA Chief Executive Officer Mario Rossetti is planning to resign from Italy’s fiber-network operator, amid possible tensions over strategy with the Italian government, according to people familiar with the matter.

Rossetti, 59, could step down as soon as next week after less than two years at the helm of the company, the people said, asking not to be identified because the plans aren’t public. The former head of Rome-based utility Acea SpA, Giuseppe Gola, is among the candidates to replace Rossetti, the people said.
