Ericsson has announced the appointment of a new head for Southeast Asia, Oceania and India as part of its restructuring strategy.
Nunzio Mirtillo will take responsibility for Ericsson’s business across markets such as India, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, the Philippines and Bangladesh.
Nunzio has had a 29 career with Ericsson, serving in roles in areas including solutions development, sales, marketing and delivery. He was most recently head of the Mediterranean region, managing Ericsson’s operations across 25 countries.
“I’m looking forward to bringing my experience of working in different roles across a diverse range of markets to the newly-combined Market Area South East Asia, Oceania and India,” Nunzio said.
“Ericsson’s strengthened portfolio focus and simplified organizational structure will enable us to better partner with our customers, to help them succeed in tough market situations and capitalize on new growth opportunities within ICT.”
The appointment forms part of Ericsson’s reorganization strategy, which includes transitioning from 10 regions to five market areas and from four business units to three business areas.
The restructuring, announced last month, comes as Ericsson seeks to slim down and focus more on mobile networks to restore profitability and competitiveness.
As part of the appointment Nunzio has also been named a member of Ericsson’s executive team.
