Melita CEO Stephen Wright will be handing over the reins to Andrei Torriani, the Chief Operations Officer, at the end of the year, Melita announced this afternoon.

Mr Torriani joined Melita as Managing Director of Melita Mobile and Chief Operating Officer of Melita plc in July. Prior to joining Melita, he led Telefonica O2’s consumer focused telecommunications business in the Czech Republic, covering a portfolio of advanced mobile, broadband, fixed telephony and pay-tv services to over seven million customers. His experience also includes several senior roles with telecom operators throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Mr Wright said he has every confidence that Melita would continue to grow and strengthen its leading position in home entertainment and communication services.

During his two years in Malta, first as Melita’s Chief Operations Officer and later as Chief Executive Officer, Mr Wright led Melita through the restructuring of the company’s top management and a rebranding exercise. He also steered the launch of Melita Mobile, the laying of a submarine fibre optic cable connection between Malta and Sicily and the consolidation of Melita’s position as a leading provider of home entertainment and telecommunication services.
