(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Fornebu, 27 June 2012) Ove Fredheim was today appointed Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) of Telenor in Serbia. Fredheim will take up the new position on 1
September, succeeding Kjell-Morten Johnsen, who became Head of Telenor's
European operations and member of the Group Executive Management earlier this
year.
"It is my great pleasure to announce that Ove Fredheim will assume the position
of CEO Telenor Serbia. Ove has long experience from the CEE region, both from
Hungary, Ukraine and Montenegro. I am confident that with his knowledge about
the region and the extensive experience from the telecom industry, Ove can
strengthen and further develop Telenor's position in Serbia," said Kjell-Morten
Johnsen, Executive Vice-President, Head of European operations.
Ove Fredheim comes from Telenor Group Headquarters, where he was heading the
Markets unit within the Group Industrial Development for the past three years.
Prior to that, Fredheim served as CEO, Telenor Hungary, from 2003 to 2009. He
has been with Telenor for 20 years.
"I am pleased to see that our leaders are able to easily alternate between the
roles in the operational companies and the Group headquarters, and Ove is an
excellent example of that. The balanced diversity in his experience will surely
benefit the organization in Serbia, and the Telenor Group," emphasized Johnsen.
"I am delighted with the opportunity to lead Telenor Serbia and hopefully,
contribute to its further development, says Ove Fredheim. "Telenor Serbia is a
forward-thinking company, capable of creating unique market offerings and
delivering good results despite the economical challenges in the country. I look
forward to join the team and to get to know better the company, its employees
and the market in Serbia," he said.
Johnsen, who continued as Telenor Serbia's CEO after he took on the new role as
Head of European operations and member of GEM in May this year, will now be able
to focus exclusively on heading the European operations.
