Norwegian telecoms incumbent Telenor has appointed Vivek Sood as CEO of its Indian unit Uninor after Morten Karlsen Sorby stepped down for personal reasons.
Sood was previously head of Telenor’s Bangladesh subsidiary Grameenphone. Replacing him at Grameenphone is its chief marketing officer Rajeev Sethi.
Sigve Brekke, Telenor’s head of Asia, said: “We respect [Sorby’s] decision to step down in order to take care of his immediate family, who is based in Sweden, and look forward to continuing to working with him in a new role in Telenor Group.”
The changes will take effect from 1 December, although Sorby will remain as an adviser to Uninor until the beginning of next year. He had been CEO of Uninor since January 2014.
