Leadership changes at MTN

Johannesburg - Mobile operator MTN Group [JSE:MTN] on Thursday announced several leadership changes in its African operations, including the appointment of Ahmed Faroukh as its vice-president for the west and central Africa region.

Faroukh was previously CEO of MTN Nigeria, a position he held for almost five years, and recently acting vice-president for the west and central Africa region. This includes Nigeria, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Congo Brazaville, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry, Liberia and Benin.

Brett Goschen, CEO of MTN Ghana, was set to be appointed as the new CEO of MTN Nigeria. Goschen was chief financial officer of MTN Nigeria from 2002 to 2006 before his appointment as MTN Ghana CEO.

In Ghana, Goschen would be replaced by Michael Ikpoki, the sales and distribution executive for MTN Nigeria. Ikpoki joined MTN Nigeria as regulatory adviser in 2001 and was promoted to general manager of regulatory affairs in 2004.

Outgoing MTN Group president and CEO Phuthuma Nhleko congratulated the executives on their appointments.
