“The Board and I are deeply satisfied with Pietro Labriola’s appointment as TIM’s CEO,” said Salvatore Rossi, Chairman of TIM. “With his expertise and drive for delivering results, Pietro is the right choice to lead TIM’s next phase of development, while enhancing the key role our Group plays in Italy’s economic, digital and social growth.”
“I am proud to assume leadership of TIM, which I have served for the last twenty years,” said Pietro Labriola, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of TIM Group. “My goal is to drive the Group to realize its full potential and maximize the value of our assets in the interest of all our shareholders. The challenges and opportunities ahead will require cohesion among all stakeholders. I am thankful for the trust the Board has placed in me to lead the Company forward. I also want to thank our Brazilian colleagues for the brilliant results we have delivered together and our Italian colleagues for what we shall do.”
