STOCKHOLM -- Hans Kuropatwa, Governance Director at the Vodafone Group, is to succeed Jon Risfelt as President and CEO when the latter leaves Vodafone Sweden after three years at the helm. Hans Kuropatwa has worked at the Vodafone Group for a number of years and has also been a member of the Board of Directors of Europolitan Vodafone AB.

"After three highly successful years, Jon has decided to look for new challenges elsewhere. Under his presidency, Vodafone Sweden has consolidated and developed its leading role as an operator active in the Swedish mobile telecoms market," says Ulf J Johansson, Chairman of the Board of Europolitan Vodafone AB. "Hans Kuropatwa possesses longstanding experience of international leadership, as well as of working at the Vodafone Group. We are therefore delighted that Vodafone Group plc has now appointed Hans Kuropatwa to this important position."
