MTN has appointed Irancell executive Ferdi Moolman as chief financial officer of the company’s Nigerian operations, succeeding Andrew Bing.
Moolman will be replaced as chief operations officer of MTN Irancell by Mazen Mroue, head of MTN Uganda, the Johannesburg-based company said in an e-mailed statement. Brian Gouldie moves to the top position in Uganda from MTN South Africa, where he was chief marketing officer.
Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country with about 170 million people, is MTN’s biggest market with about 57.2 million subscribers. The company competes with mobile-phone operators including Bharti Airtel Ltd. of India and Emirates Telecommunications Corp. for customers in what’s also Africa’s biggest economy.
