MARIKA AURAMO APPOINTED CEO OF VODAFONE BUSINESS
Vodafone today announced that Marika Auramo has been appointed CEO
of Vodafone Business, with effect from 1 July 2024. She will also
become a member of Vodafone's Executive Committee from the same
date. Marika is a highly respected business leader and has more
than 25 years' experience in the global IT industry.
She joins from SAP, the global enterprise company, where she was
Chief Business Officer for the EMEA region. In this role, Marika
was responsible for driving the go-to-market strategy for SAP's
product portfolio across 89 countries and for managing 14,000
employees.
Marika joined SAP in 1999 and has held a diverse set of leadership
roles since then, including COO EMEA North, Managing Director for
the Nordic and Baltic region, Global COO of SAP Database and Data
Management in the US, and Interim President of the EMEA
region.
Margherita Della Valle, CEO of Vodafone Group, said: "I am
delighted that Marika will be joining Vodafone to lead our Business
division, a key growth driver. She brings extensive B2B experience
from the IT industry, and I look forward to welcoming her as a
member of our Executive Committee."
Marika Auramo said: "I am looking forward to working with
Margherita and the management team and to engaging with Vodafone's
customers and partners. Vodafone Business has strong growth
opportunities ahead - as large corporates, SMEs and the public
sector look to adopt more digital tools to enhance growth and
productivity - and I will be working alongside my new colleagues to
capture this."
Marika will take over from Giorgio Migliarina, who has successfully
led Vodafone Business as interim CEO. Vodafone Business reported
service revenue growth of 5% at the Group's third quarter trading
update. Vodafone Business is growing across all segments due to
strong public sector demand and increasing customer adoption of new
digital services, such as Cloud, Security and IoT.
