Vodafone’s interim CEO faces first public test as calls for change grow

LONDON/MILAN: Vodafone shareholders will look for two things from interim CEO Margherita Della Valle at her first results presentation on Wednesday – how she plans to arrest immediate problems in markets like Germany, and any hint of long-term plans that could land her the top job permanently.

Della Valle will present the company’s third-quarter earnings following her appointment in December, when Nick Read stepped down after four years during which the share price nearly halved.
