“Andres Vicente took over the position after his predecessor Gabriela Matei had decided to take an extended period of leave from the business, for personal reasons,” Vodafone officials told ZF.
Before joining Vodafone Romania, Andres Vicente worked as EBU Sales Director in Vodafone Spain. He has been with Vodafone Spain since 1995, apart from a three-year break, between 2001-2004, when he joined a strategic consulting firm.
“Andres has great cross functional experience having worked in areas like Technology and Strategy, before moving into the EBU. Andres headed several senior positions in the EBU such as Head of Sales Operations, Head of Sales for the Southern Region in Spain and Head of Marketing, before his promotion to EBU Sales Director, in October 2009.
Andres Vicente, 41 years old, holds a law degree from the Universidad Autonoma in Madrid and an International MBA from EOI (School of Industrial Organisation) and the Manchester Business School.
Another change at Vodafone is the departure of Adrian Georgescu, head of business sales with the company.
