The head of Vodafone in Romania has been selected as the new chief executive of the telco's Australian business.
Inaki Berroeta has been president and CEO of the Romanian division since 2010, and will take over as the head of Vodafone Hutchison Australia on March 1.
He will replace Bill Morrow, who at the end of March will take the head role at the company behind the rollout of the national broadband network, NBN Co.
Mr Morrow said his successor's international experience would ensure a smooth transition.
"Inaki is a great fit for the local team and his diverse background places him well to take Vodafone through to the next phase of its three year turnaround," he said in a statement.
"His appointment demonstrates Vodafone Group's and Hutchison Whampoa's commitment to developing talent globally and to putting the right people in the right places."
Mr Berroeta was previously the head of Vodafone in Malta, and has held other positions in Spain and the United States.
Vodafone Australia merged with Hutchison in 2009 to create a 50/50 joint venture.
