TORONTO – Wind Mobile has named Pietro Cordova, a veteran of Wind Telecomunicazioni SpA, as its new COO, succeeding Gianluca Corti.
Corti will assume responsibility for the consumer business unit of Wind Telecomunicazioni in a strategic transition that the company said will “ensure that both companies are well-positioned for success within the VimpelCom Ltd. family”.
"This is a great day for Wind Mobile, VimpelCom, and for Pietro and Gianluca. Pietro brings a wealth of experience, accomplishments and enthusiasm to the role of chief operating officer, and we couldn't be happier that he is here to help fulfill our goal of becoming Canada's fourth national wireless carrier," said chairman and CEO Anthony Lacavera, in Friday's announcement. "Given his impressive list of accomplishments during his time as COO, I know Gianluca will be a tremendous asset to the $5.5 billion dollar fixed and mobile consumer business at Wind Telecomunicazioni. In the coming weeks we'll work together to ensure a smooth and seamless transition process."
