Selorm Adadevoh, the CEO of MTN Ghana, has been appointed to the position of MTN Group Chief Commercial Officer. Jens Schulte-Bockum, who will step down as Group Chief Operating Officer in March 2024, will be replaced by Adadevoh, a Ghanaian, as part of MTN Group’s efforts to ensure an orderly leadership succession.

Stephen Blewett, MTN Operations Executive, Markets, will take over as CEO of the significant MTN Ghana subsidiary concurrently. Selorm is going to join the Executive Committee of the MTN Group. On March 31, 2024, Jens will leave his position as an executive. However, he will continue to serve as a non-executive director on the boards of MTN South Africa, MTN Nigeria, and Bayobab, three significant subsidiaries.

“We congratulate Selorm on his new appointment and thank him for successfully leading the company and steering it through challenging times, and for his hard work and commitment to MTN Ghana over the past five and a half years. We have no doubt that he will excel in his new role.” said MTN Ghana Board Chairman, Dr. Ishmael Yamson.

As the CEO of MTN Ghana, Selorm joined MTN in 2018. Before that, he had important positions at Millicom in Africa and Digicel, the Caribbean mobile network operator, as well as a number of positions at different points in his career in the USA, UK, and Latin America.

Since joining MTN, Selorm has spearheaded the company’s transformation and played a key role in advancing the company’s new Ambition 2025 strategy, which aims to position MTN Ghana as a platform player. He has had a considerable influence and impact on important industry initiatives.

Stephen re-joined MTN in July 2023 as the Operations Executive for Markets, with executive responsibility for the Group’s smaller West and Central Africa markets and for providing broader operations support across that region to the Group’s Senior Vice President for Markets.

Prior to that, he was Chief Operating Officer of Digicel. Before that, he spent seven years at MTN in the role of CEO for MTN Benin and then MTN Cameroon.

“We welcome Stephen into the MTN Ghana family and look forward to working with him to move the company forward to achieve our Ambition 2025 strategy and beyond,” Chairman Yamson added.

The Board of Directors of MTN Ghana and its subsidiaries would like to take this opportunity to express their gratitude to Selorm for his immense contribution to the company during his tenure as CEO, and we wish him every success in his new role as MTN Group Chief Commercial Officer. We welcome Stephen to the MTN Ghana family and look forward to welcoming him to the business in the months ahead.
