Yahoo Executive Geraldine Wilson will join mobile network operator Truphone as chief executive officer in early November.
Wilson, who was at Yahoo for two-and-a-half years, most
recently was vice president and general manager of Yahoo's European mobile division, Connected Life. She was responsible for growing the ISP's broadband and mobile business in Europe, her remit
including business, marketing strategy and operations. She joined Yahoo from Vodafon--where, among others, she held the key positions of chief commercial officer for Vodafone Sweden, and managing
director of U.K. content services for Vodafone U.K.
Previous CEO James Tagg, who originally invented and developed the Truphone service with CTO and co-founder Alistair Campbell, moves to the role
of chief architect at the London-based company. --Tanya Irwin
