Ethiotelecom assigns Andualem Admassie as Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO)





 Andualem Admassie, formerly Chief Human Resources Officer of the company, has received a letter that informs his assignment as an acting Chief Executive Officer from Ethio telecom board chairman Deriba Kuma on June 18, 2013. 

The contract between Ethio telecom and former CEO, Bruno Duthoit, has ended. The French man, Bruno Duthoit …from France Telecom/Sofrecom, has served Ethio telecom for 10 months now.

Bruno said in his outlook email to all employees,” As I am ending my assignment in Ethio telecom, I want to thank all of you for the work done during last months in order to support telecom development in the country, giving more accessibility to people and better services.”

Bruno added,” When I arrived in September 2012, I discovered a company on the path of change. I was very happy to see - thanks to you - progresses in many domains, happy to work with colleagues passionate by what they are doing, accepting difficult challenges and committed to projects delivery.”

Directors, Officers and Chief Officers have emotionally responded to his farewell email, thanking and praising him for his diligence, brilliance, commitment and charismatic leadership as CEO of Ethio telecom. To be frank, Bruno was humble, considerate and communicative with all Ethio telecom employees which make him unique from the greedy wolves of the old pensioners.

Ethio telecom has been under the tutelage of France Telecom/Sofrecom for over three years now. It is to be recalled that France Telecom overtook the managerial role of the company for two and a half years contract amassing over 30 million Euros. The white guys pledged that they would build “A World Class Operator” within the given period. Though the outcomes show “A World Class Operator” has not yet materialized.

Ps:

Acting (such as acting manager, acting officer, acting chief officer etc.) is a temporary but a sure fire assignment at Ethiotelecom that serve as a stepping stone to the next level.
