JOHANNESBURG, (CAJ News) – MTN Group has appointed Mitwa Ng’ambi as Chief People and Culture Officer and announced changes to the leadership of its subsidiaries in Côte d’Ivoire and Zambia.
Ng’ambi’s appointment comes ahead of the retirement later this year of Paul Norman.
Ralph Mupita, Group President and Chief Executive Officer, said Ng’ambi will lead MTN’s people and culture agenda at a pivotal time in the Ambition 2030 journey.
“She will take over from Paul, who will retire after a stellar career at MTN and having made a significant contribution to the business over almost three decades.”
Mitwa is currently Chief Executive Officer of MTN Côte d’Ivoire.
She will be succeeded by Abbad Reda, who is currently Chief Executive Officer of MTN Zambia.
Reda, in turn, will be succeeded by Larry Annetts.
Annetts’ most recent role was as Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Commercial Officer seconded to Irancell.
All new CEO appointments are effective no later than September 1.
Earlier this year, MTN Group adopted Ambition 2030, a refreshed strategy for the next five years.
