This is the second time the group makes such a move, after Severina Pascu added the position of CEO in Hungary to her position in Romania in 2013. She was promoted to regional CEO last year.
“Starting September 1, 2016, Robert Redeleanu, UPC Romania CEO, will also become CEO of UPC Hungary and be in charge of the UPC operations in both countries,” the company said.
Robert Redeleanu will be based in Bucharest and UPC Romania and UPC Hungary will continue as two separate entities. In his new role, Redeleanu replaces Magnus Ternjo, the current UPC Hungary CEO, who decided to leave Liberty Global after 15 years.
UPC has 1.1 million customers and 2.11 million subscriptions in Hungary while in Romania it has 1.2 million customers and 2.18 million subscriptions. UPC Hungary also provides mobile services besides the fixed communication and DTH services it provides in Romania.
