SA's only mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), Virgin Mobile SA, has appointed Jonathan Marchbank as the company's CEO.
This follows the shareholder dilution of the company in June, which saw Virgin Mobile partnering with Dubai-based MVNO the Friendi Group. Former CEO Steve Bailey stepped down at the time of the shareholder change.
Virgin Mobile says Marchbank comes with an “impressive pedigree”. Most recently he headed up the Virgin Mobile Middle East and Africa Group's activities in Asia, prior to which he served as COO for Virgin Mobile USA, a business with over five million mobile customers.
Before that, Marchbank was CEO of Virgin Mobile in Australia and Asia.
Prior to joining Virgin Mobile, Marchbank served as MD of Telstra's mobile business in Australia, having spent the previous 10 years as MD of Nokia and Philips in Asia and Australia.
