Vodafone Ireland has appointed Cork-born Anne O’Leary to head its operations at a time when the big focus is on 4G rollout. Her task will be to ensure the biggest mobile operator in the country continues its march, says Kyran Fitzgerald

This week, Vodafone Ireland has a new female boss — the first to fill the post since the departure of American Teresa Elder in 2006.

Anne O’Leary, born in Cork City, also becomes the first Irish person to head the company’s operations here.
