(PZ) Telenor Strengthens in Asia and Europe – New Group Management Members Appointed
Telenor’s mobile commitments in Asia and Europe are becoming increasingly important to the Group. Telenor is therefore appointing two of its most experienced executives – Arve Johansen and Jan Edvard Thygesen – to head its commitments in these regions. Coordination across the Group’s operations is also strengthened as two new members are appointed to the Group Management.
Telenor is now establishing Asia and Eastern/Central Europe as separate areas of responsibility, with dedicated Executive Vice Presidents, as Telenor has previously done with its Nordic operations. Arve Johansen will head Telenor’s commitments in Asia, and Jan Edvard Thygesen will head the Group’s commitments in Eastern/Central Europe. Both Johansen and Thygesen are experienced members of Telenor’s Group Management.
Two new members will also be joining the Group Management as Telenor strengthens the co-ordination of operational and human resources across all countries in which it has business activities. Ragnar H. Korsaeth will be responsible for global coordination and for the extraction of synergies between the mobile operations. Senior Vice President for HR, Bjoern Magnus Kopperud, will also join the Group Management. Both possess extensive experience within their respective fields at Telenor. The changes to Telenor’s Group Management will be effective from today, Tuesday 10 January.
