LONDON (Alliance News) - Telecoms giant BT Group PLC on Friday named Simon Lowth as its new finance director, with plans for him to join the company on July 4.
Lowth, who was the finance director at gas producer BG Group PLC prior to its takeover by Royal Dutch Shell PLC, will take over from Tony Chanmugam, who announced his plan to step down in February.
Chanmugam will remain in place for a handover period, after which he will move to focus on integrating mobile network EE into BT, following its acquisition of the business last year.
Prior to working at BG, Lowth was the finance director at drugs giant AstraZeneca PLC and he currently sits on the board of emerging markets bank Standard Chartered PLC.
