Salvador Alvarez will join mobile operator Nextel Mexico, a subsidiary of US-based NII Holdings, as president on 14 July.
Alvarez served as CEO of Mexican fixed-line telco Maxcom between 2009 and 2013. Before that, he held various leadership roles in the Mexican food and groceries industry.
“With his strong leadership skills and past successes in improving operational performance, I am confident that Salvador will continue the operational turnaround to position our operations in Mexico to grow in the future,” NII CEO Steven Shindler said in a statement.
Alvarez will succeed John McMahon, who has served as interim president since June 2012 and has been with NII for 14 years. The holding did not disclose where McMahon is headed to.
In Mexico, Nextel is the country’s smallest operator. The group also operates in Brazil, Argentina and Chile but is reportedly close to selling the Argentinian and Chilean units. Last year, NII offloaded its subsidiary in Peru in a US$410m deal.
