The MTN Group will perform a reshuffle of positions within its African operations at the end of April, with the group`s operations executive replacing the current CEO of MTN Cameroon as of 1 May.
Campbell Utton has already served on the board of MTN Cameroon for several years, helping to increase the company`s value-contribution to the group, and he will replace Ron Allard, whose contract expires at the end of April.
"Campbell Utton joined MTN in 1999 and has had extensive involvement in the various MTN operations outside of SA," says Phuthuma Nhleko, MTN Group CEO.
"Ron Allard has contributed extensively to the success of MTN Cameroon, having witnessed MTN Cameroon turn profitable during his tenure at the helm, and the company has delivered strong year-on-year growth, becoming a dominant brand within the Cameroon market."
Nhleko says that today, MTN Cameroon is the fifth largest company in the country, and the leading telecommunications provider, servicing 779 000 subscribers.
