BOARD APPOINTMENTS
Two Non-Executive Directors to join Vodafone's Board
Vodafone Group Plc ("Vodafone") today announced that Delphine
Ernotte Cunci and Simon Segars will be appointed as non-executive
directors following the Company's Annual General Meeting on 26 July
2022, subject to shareholder approval.
Vodafone's Chairman, Jean-Francois van Boxmeer said: "I am
delighted to welcome Delphine and Simon to Vodafone's Board. They
are well-respected leaders who bring extensive experience and track
records of value creation across the telecoms, technology and media
sectors. I look forward to Delphine and Simon's valuable
contribution as the Board and management team work closely together
to drive the execution of Vodafone's strategy, to achieve our
commercial and portfolio priorities and deliver long-term value for
shareholders."
Delphine Ernotte Cunci
Delphine has considerable experience in the telecoms sector and,
more recently, in media and technology. Since 2015, Delphine has
been President of France Télévisions, the French national public
television broadcaster. Her mandate was extended in 2020, the first
time this has happened to an incumbent President. Prior to that,
Delphine spent 26 years at Orange, where she became Deputy CEO in
2010 and led the successful turnaround of Orange France.
Delphine's non-executive roles include President of the European
Broadcast Union and she is on the board of Suez. She has been a
non-executive director of Suez since 2012, where she chairs the
Audit and Finance Committee, and will step down from this role in
the coming weeks as a result of the merger with Veolia. Delphine is
also Chair of CentraleSupélec, the top French graduate engineering
school, and Chair of the public cultural centre Le
CentQuatre-Paris.
Simon Segars
Simon brings significant experience and insights on technology
trends and how these are reshaping industry landscapes. He has just
stepped down as CEO of Arm, the global leader in the development of
semiconductor intellectual property. He successfully led the
business since 2013 and generated significant value for investors
during his tenure. Arm's processor technology is the world's most
widely licensed and is used in virtually all smartphones and the
majority of tablets and digital TVs. Simon joined Arm in 1991 as an
engineer and worked on some of the company's early microprocessor
designs. He subsequently held various leadership roles, including
as a General Manager and heading Worldwide Sales, before becoming
President and then CEO. Prior to joining Arm, he was an engineer at
Standard Telephones and Cables, the former FTSE 100 technology
company.
Simon is currently a non-executive director of Dolby
Laboratories, the American audiovisual technology business, and he
is also Chair of the Global Semiconductor Alliance. During
2017-2021, he was a Board member of the SoftBank Group.
