Margherita Della Valle Biography

Margherita Della Valle is the group chief executive officer of Vodafone, a major telecommunications company with operations across Europe and Africa. Della Valle holds a degree in economics from Bocconi University in Milan, Italy.

Della Valle has more than 30 years of experience in the telecommunications industry, beginning as employee number 25 at the first Italian mobile challenger that later became Vodafone Italy. Her career at Vodafone has included roles in consumer marketing, digitalization, operations, and finance. Previous positions within Vodafone Group include chief financial officer, deputy chief financial officer, group financial controller, and chief financial officer for Vodafone's European region. Della Valle played a key role in the creation of Vodafone Shared Services, an integrated organization supporting all group companies and employing more than 20,000 people.

As CEO, Della Valle has led Vodafone through significant strategic initiatives focused on customers, simplicity, and growth. These efforts have included cost-cutting measures and divestitures, such as the sale of Vodafone Italy to Swisscom and the sale of Vodafone's Spanish operations to Zegona Communications, reshaping the company's European presence. Vodafone also received regulatory approval for a merger with Three UK, creating Britain's largest mobile operator.

Della Valle is recognized for her advocacy of gender equity in business and is among the few female CEOs leading FTSE 100 companies. She co-founded Next Gen Women in Finance, a group that mentors and sponsors rising female talent in the finance sector. Della Valle has addressed the impact of subconscious bias on women's career progression and has received the Premio Bellisario award from the Italian Presidency for achievements in business, science, and public administration. She has also been named to Forbes' World's 100 Most Powerful Women and ranked on the Forbes Power Women list.

Della Valle serves as a non-executive director of Reckitt plc and sits on the IMF Advisory Council on Entrepreneurship and Growth. She previously chaired the Hundred Group, representing FTSE 100 CFOs, and was recognized as Bocconi University's Alumna of the Year. Her career reflects extensive experience in telecommunications, business leadership, and financial management.
