    Vodafone clears out management team at Cable & Wireless Worldwide

    -

    Vodafone has announced a clear out of Cable & Wireless Worldwide's (CWW) C-Level management team, announcing that CEO Gavin Darby (himself ex-Vodafone), acting CTO Dave Broady and CFO Ian Gibson will all be leaving the company at the end of October.

    All the departing execs will be replaced by current Vodafone execs, with the current head of Vodafone Global Enterprise, Nick Jeffery, stepping in as CWW CEO. That move marks a return to the C&W brand for Jeffery, who began his career with Cable & Wireless plc (Mercury Communications) in 1991 and led the company's UK and international markets business units before joining Vodafone in 2004.

    Jeffery will be replaced at the top of Vodafone Gobal Enterprise by the Enterprise Business Unit Director of Vodafone Germany, Jan Geldmacher.

    Diego Galli, CFO of Vodafone Turkey will become Finance Director for CWW, with Vodafone Group Network Services Unit Director John Thompson taking over as CWW's Technology Director. Mark Allison, who currently leads the Vodafone Global Enterprise Commercial team, has been appointed Integration Director. All appointments are effective immediately.

    The integration of CWW's commercial and back-office operations will be overseen by Nick Jeffery and Vodafone UK Chief Executive Guy Laurence. The integration of CWW's network and technology assets will be overseen by Vodafone Group Chief Technology Officer Steve Pusey.
