Executive Officer of Orange Group, decided to nominate Michaël
Trabbia as Chief Technology and Innovation Officer, within Orange
Group’s Executive Committee.

want to warmly thank Michaël for his decisive action at the head of
Orange Belgium. Under his leading, Orange Belgium reached new major
steps, thanks notably to its ‘Bold challenger’ strategy. I applaud
Michaël for his promotion and look forward to seeing him join the
Executive Committee of the Group.”

Directors at Orange Belgium, reacts: “The Board and I would like to
congratulate Michaël for this new role in the Executive Committee
of the Orange Group. We would like to warmly thank Michaël for his
many contributions, efforts and commitment over the past 4
years.
As a strong leader he created value for every
stakeholder inside and outside the company: from the 1,500
employees to the millions of Orange customers and the various
shareholders worldwide. Michaël pursued growth on all levels:
operationally, financially as well as commercially. He created the
fundaments for a future proof company, in a balanced and a
sustainable way, thanks to the roll-out of an ambitious and bold
transformation plan that made Orange Belgium more digital, caring
and efficient.
Under his leadership Orange Belgium is more than
ever ready for the future. We wish Michaël all the best in his new

After his nomination, Michaël Trabbia stated: «
I am particularly proud of the work done by our teams in Belgium
and what we have achieved together during the past 4 years.
We successfully positioned Orange Belgium as the
customer-centric bold challenger of the Belgian market. Starting
from a mobile-only position in a duopoly broadband market, we
managed to build a strong convergent position and customer base
with our convergent Love offers. On the mobile side, we were the
first to launch an unlimited data offer in Belgium back in 2018;
and recently we were again the first to launch mobile discounts for
families with our GO offers.
We also reached significant strategic
achievements such as the RAN-sharing deal with Proximus, the MVNO
deal with De Persgroep, the acquisition of BKM, the cable
regulation improvement, the preparation of the networks of the
future; and our Bold Inside transformation plan.
I really want to warmly thank Orange Belgium’s
teams and Executive committee for their relentless commitment and
the quality of their work, which were absolutely key in achieving
these successes. I also want to sincerely thank the members of the
Board for their trust and their support. As a result, Orange
Belgium managed to steadily increase its value market share and is
now recognized as a strong operator of growth.
As from September, I will have the great honor
to lead Orange Group’s technology and innovation teams, next to
Stéphane Richard, Orange Chairman and CEO. I look forward
enthusiastically to what we are going to achieve together.”
