Lars Christian Iuel, Cell One’s Chief Executive Officer, is leaving the country to take up the opportunity to pursue new challenges at its partner company Telenor in South East Asia. Cell One had this week appointed a new CEO, following the reassignment of Iuel.

He is Frode Haugen and his appointment is with effect from 1 March. The cellular services provider said Haugen has 27 years industry experience and has international exposure both in Europe, Africa and South East Asia working as a top executive.
Iuel joined Cell One on 1 October 2006 as Chief Marketing Officer and was appointed CEO on 27 March 2007.
During Iuel’s time of leadership at Cell One, the company launched both Prepaid and Postpaid services in the market.
“I would like to thank Cell One employees, the Namibian people, the Government of Namibia, the NCC, the shareholders and the Board of Directors for making my time at Cell One rewarding and worthwhile,” Iuel said.
