Gattung resigns

As widely expected, Telecom CEO Theresa Gattung has resigned – effective from 30 June.

I remember when she was first appointed to the job in 1999. It almost gave me a mid life crisis as here was someone just a couple of years older than me becoming CEO of NZ’s largest company, and it makes you take a hard look at where you have got to in life.

Anyway seven years is not a bad reign as CEO, and the focus is now on who will replace her. My pick remains CFO Marko Bogoievski.
