Vodacom is pleased to announce the appointment of Rene Meza
as Managing Director for Vodacom Tanzania. Currently Managing Director of Bharti Airtel's Kenya
operations, Rene brings over 12 years' international experience in telecommunications
across Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Speaking about the appointment, Vodacom's CEO for
international operations, Johan Dennelind said:
"We're very excited to have Rene joining the team. He
brings a wide range of experience from emerging markets as diverse as Paraguay,
Pakistan and Kenya. He was also
previously CEO for Millicom's (Tigo) operations in Tanzania which means that
he'll be up and running in this new role very quickly."
Rene replaces Dietlof Mare, who had requested to change
roles after spending almost five years in Tanzania. An announcement as to Dietlof's new role will be made in due
course.
"Under Dietlof's direction, Vodacom Tanzania has grown
considerably. It's now our second
largest operation outside South Africa and has over nine million
customers. Dietlof has led the
business admirably and has been instrumental in the implementation of M-Pesa
and other initiatives that have placed the company well for the future. I want to thank Dietlof for his
dedication and we look forward to using his hard-earned skills elsewhere in the
Group" concluded Dennelind.
