Thai Total Access CEO to resign from Sept. 1
BANGKOK, July 4 (Reuters) - Total Access Communication PCL
, Thailand's second largest mobile operator,
said on Friday its chief executive Sigve Brekke would resign
from Sept. 1.
TAC, controlled by Norway's Telenor , appointed
Tore Johnsen to succeed Brekke, who will head Telenor's Asia
operations in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Thailand, the
company said in a statement.
Brekke will remain on TAC's board of directors.
Johnsen, chief executive of Telenor Pakistan since August
2004, has over 30 years of experience within the Telenor Group.
Under Brekke's leadership, TAC mounted a rural marketing
campaign to build up market share and brand recognition in a
highly competitive industry, analysts said.
TAC shares opened down 1.5 percent at a 4-week low of 49.25
baht, after dropping nearly 2 percent on Thursday. The main
Thai index was up 0.7 percent on Friday.
