\tVodafone Group lined up the CEO of brewing company Heineken, Jean-Francois Van Boxmeer, to replace chairman Gerard Kleisterlee, who is due to step down in November following almost a decade in the role.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Vodafone CEO Nick Read explained Van Boxmeer oversaw a \u201ca highly successful period of transformation and value creation\u201d at Heineken, and holds \u201cvaluable experience in driving growth through both B2B and B2C business models\u201d.<\/p>\n

Van Boxmeer is due to be appointed a non-executive director at Vodafone\u2019s AGM on 28 July, before taking over as chair on 3 November.<\/p>\n

He has been CEO of Heineken since 2005, a period in which he is credited with transforming the brewer into a “truly global organisation”, delivering a near threefold increase in its share price through strategic transactions and organic growth.<\/p>\n

Vodafone noted Kleisterlee oversaw a shift from a pure-play operator to a leading European converged service provider, along with pushing data and financial service growth in Africa since being appointed in 2011.<\/p>\n

Key moves made during his tenure include an exit from Verizon Wireless [1] in a $130 billion deal, and an \u20ac18.4 billion ($20.1 billion) acquisition of Liberty Global\u2019s cable assets [2] in Germany, Czech, Hungary and Romania.<\/p>\n

Kleisterlee said the announcement was “the culmination of a succession planning process” initiated in 2019.<\/p>\n
