Connex designates new marketing VP

Following Orange Romania’s appointment of Richard Moat from England as CEO, as replacement for Bernard Moscheni (who will now be running the Belgian company Mobistar), the MobiFon operator, owner of the Connex brand, is now completing its top management team.

The new marketing vice-president of MobiFon is Kenneth D. Cambell from Canada, and is replacing Michael Fowley, who left this summer to work for the Bulgarian mobile telephone operator Mobiltel.

Kenneth D. Cambell has a 15-year track record in the communications industry (landline and mobile, cable and satellite telephony) and has worked as a manager for strategy and research specialist in seven countries, from Australia and France to England and the United States.

Before accepting the position with Connex, Cambell worked as a commercial director with the GSM operator Tunisiana (Orascom Telecom-Tunis) for one year.

Prior to that, he was the marketing and corporate strategy vice-president for four years with the Egyptian GSM operator MobilNil, whose shareholders are Orascom Telecom and Orange. In both positions, his performance was outstanding. For example, in the first year of activity of Tunisiana, he managed to attract over half a million subscribers.

Before holding these positions, he worked as a senior manager with the US Business Development company A.T. Kearney and had clients from communications companies from Canada, Korea, Australia and the United States. Kenneth D. Cambell has a Master in Business Administration, having graduated from the renowned London Business School, and as any true Canadian, speaks English and French fluently.
