CHRISTINE RAMON TO JOIN VODAFONE'S BOARD AS A NON-EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR
Vodafone Group Plc ("Vodafone") today announced that Christine
Ramon will be appointed as a non-executive director with immediate
effect. Christine is one of Africa's most senior female business
executives, having recently been CFO of two of South Africa's
leading businesses.
Christine, a qualified chartered accountant, served as a
Non-Executive Director of the International Federation of
Accountants, the global organisation for the accountancy
profession. Prior to this, Christine served as a Non-Executive
Director at MTN, the South African telecommunications company with
a market capitalisation of GBP15 billion, and cement business
Lafarge, until its merger with Holcim. Before that, Christine was a
Non-Executive Director at Transnet, the South African rail, port
and pipeline company.
Until June 2022, Christine was CFO of AngloGold Ashanti, the
gold mining company with a market capitalisation of GBP5 billion.
She originally joined the company as CFO in 2014 and oversaw a
strong improvement in operational performance and a cost-reduction
programme to help reduce the business's net debt. Prior to that,
Christine was CFO of Sasol, the South African energy and chemicals
company with a market capitalisation of GBP17 billion. She was a
key change agent for Sasol's cultural transformation, which
involved redefining the group's operating model as well as
streamlining its structures and processes.
Total shareholder return improved by 93% while Christine was CFO
at AngloGold Ashanti, and by 153% during her tenure as CFO at
Sasol.
Before joining Sasol, Christine was CEO at Johnnic Holdings -
the investment holding company with interests in media,
entertainment and telecommunications - and she also worked at Pepsi
as a Financial Controller.
Jean-François van Boxmeer, Chairman of Vodafone, said:
"I am delighted that Christine will be joining Vodafone's Board.
She brings extensive Africa market experience, good commercial
acumen and will further supplement the Board's financial expertise.
As Vodafone continues its simplification into the largest
pan-European and African connectivity and digital services
provider, Christine's strategic insights will be an excellent
addition to our Board discussions."
Christine Ramon commented:
"It is an honour to be invited to join the Board of Vodafone. I
am greatly looking forward to working with Jean-Francois and the
board to support Nick and the executive team to successfully drive
the strategy forward."
Pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.13R, it is confirmed there are no
other disclosures required in addition to the above
