British multinational corporation and mobile network operator Lyca Mobile<\/a>, which is a Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) based off O2<\/a>’s (VMO2) national platform, has today announced the appointment of Richard Sch\u00e4fer to be their new CEO (Mobile and Group) – having previously served as Lyca Group CFO since May 2021.<\/p>\n

Sch\u00e4fer has a strong track record in senior leadership roles, having previously worked in the domestic UK and international telecommunication sector for more than 22 years at some of the UK\u2019s leading telecommunication companies including Three UK<\/a>, Vodafone<\/a> UK, Onecom, and Lebara<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The news isn’t all that surprising because the new CEO has been listed on their website for a while, but for some reason they waited until now to formally announce it.<\/p>\n

Richard Sch\u00e4fer said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Lyca Mobile<\/a> has always delivered exceptional value to our customers, and I firmly believe we have some of the most cost-effective and compelling products in the market. As the world\u2019s largest MVNO, we have built a loyal customer base by delivering reliable, low-cost international calling, and there is a golden opportunity to extend that base by targeting a broader value-seeking market.<\/p>\n

Consumers are facing skyrocketing living costs and there is a growing space for mobile providers who can give customers what they want \u2013 which is simply cost-effective, quality services. We will be relentless in delivering against our three priorities of value, customer service and reliability, with new investments and partnerships already taking shape to demonstrate our single-minded focus on continuous improvement across these core areas.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, the announcement doesn’t mention why the group’s former CEO, Chris Tooley<\/strong>, is no longer in the role, after first taking up the post almost a decade ago in 2014. Tooley\u2019s Linkedin profile also makes no mention of him having taken up any new positions in other companies, yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
