Until a replacement is found, CEO Liliana Solomon will take over the role.
Campbell joined Telesystem International Wireless (TIW) in 2004, and stayed on with the Romanian operator after its acquisition by Vodafone in 2005. During his tenure, he oversaw the re-branding from Connex to Vodafone and established the international brand on the Romanian market.
He had previously served in executive positions at Orascom Telecom Tunisia and Egyptian operator, Mobinil, a joint venture of Orascom Telecom and Orange. In his new position Campbell will be working with the management board and supervisory council of BITE Group to guide the company‘s operations on the Lithuanian and Latvian markets.
BITE Group had a EUR 172 million turnover in 2006 and has about two million customers in the two countries in which it is active. The company was taken over at the beginning of the year by a private investment fund, Mid Europe Partners, which has operations in Central and Eastern Europe.
