Lal: Khan's successor By VICTOR LAL
FIJILEAKS HAS BEEN reliably informed that Aslam Khan, the CEO of Vodafone Fiji Limited will be retiring soon. He had informed the Board as far back as 2010 that he intended to retire in 2013 but was persuaded to remain for another year. In 2013 it was 20 years for Khan with Vodafone who had nurtured the company from scratch since 1993. Under his watch, the company saw it evolve from 2G, 3G and now 4G. He had seen through deregulation in 2008 and Vodafone has 85 per cent of the market share. Since 2010 the Board had been planning a smooth transition, with Pradeep Lal poised to takeover on Khan's retirement. Fijileaks could not get a comment from Khan of his future plans but Geneva could be a new destination where his wife and former High Court judge Nazhat Shameem was recently appointed as Fiji's Ambassador. A source inside Vodafone said "Khan's job is well done and they wish him all the best in his future plans".
