Mihai Ghyka, former head of Bergenbier beer producer in Romania, will move to telecom company Vodafone Romania, where he will lead the consumer business unit, according to a statement from the telecom company. Ghyka, who will start on the new position on June 20, will replace Karsten Wildberger, who came to Romania in 2006 and was promoted chief commercial officer of the consumer business unit in 2008.
