Michaël Trabbia, currently CEO of Orange Belgium, promoted to Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at the Orange Group as from September 1st, 2020 - Seite 2

Under his leadership Orange Belgium is more than ever ready for the future. We wish Michaël all the best in his new adventure.”

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.”

Michaël Trabbia joined Orange in January 2011 and became Group Senior Vice-President for Corporate Public Affairs. He then moved to the team of the Chairman and CEO of Orange as Chief of staff and Secretary of the Group’s Executive Committee in July 2014. He joined Orange Belgium in September 2016 as CEO.
