France's Orange is reshuffling its European leadership team, with changes set to come into effect on May 1.

Bruno Duthoit, currently CEO of Orange Polska, will become Deputy CEO and Deputy Executive Director for Europe with responsibility for activities in central Europe, reporting directly to Gervais Pellissier, who will remain Deputy CEO and Executive Director for Europe.

Duthoit will be succeeded at Orange Polska by Jean-François Fallacher, currently CEO of Orange Romania.

In addition, Liudmila Climoc, the CEO of Orange Moldova, and Julien Ducarroz, the CEO of Orange Romania, will exchange roles.

"The development of the existing team reinforces synergies between the operations across Europe," said Pellissier in a statement. "I am particularly happy that Bruno Duthoit will now be working at my side as Deputy in charge of Central Europe."

Outside France, Orange (NYSE: FTE) currently operates in Belgium, Luxembourg, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Spain in the European region.
