The news is hitting the wires that Rogers has picked Guy Laurence as its next CEO. Lawrence was previously the CEO of Vodafone UK and brings a lot to the table:
A seasoned executive, Laurence brings 30 years of global experience in telecommunications, pay television and media. Laurence is currently CEO of Vodafone UK, an estimated 11 billion dollar fixed and mobile company, operating in one of the most competitive communication markets in the world. He first joined Vodafone in 2000, holding a number of increasingly senior roles including CEO of Vodafone Netherlands (2005), before becoming CEO of Vodafone UK in 2008.
“The board unanimously chose Guy as the best leader to succeed Nadir and to take the company forward,” said Alan Horn, Chairman of the Board, Rogers Communications Inc. “Guy is a strong, proven executive who has consistently delivered strong financial and operating results in highly complex and competitive markets. The breadth and depth of his experience in telecommunications, pay television and media are perfectly suited to Rogers and to the challenges and opportunities we see ahead.”
Laurence replaces Nadir Mohamed and they’ll work together to transition things before Mohamed retires in December. One thing to note, Laurence is known for shaking things up wherever he goes, so that might be interesting to watch.
