Michel de Coster aan de slag bij SFR
Michel de Coster maakt per 1 januari volgend jaar de overstap van CEO bij Zapfi naar commercieel directeur bij de Franse operator SFR. De Coster werkte voorheen als topman bij onder meer Belgacom en BT. Momenteel wordt SFR geleid door Jean-Yves Charlier, voormalig hoogste baas van BT. De Belgische krant De Tijd schrijft dat Charlier wordt genoemd als opvolger van de gewezen Belgacom-topman Didier Bellens. Charlier zou hier echter geen interesse in hebben.
