Vodafone Group has appointed former Standard Life CEO David Nish as a non-executive director.
Nish was boss at the insurance company from 2010 until September this year. Before that, he he held high profile roles at Scottish Power and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
During his time at Standard Life, the insurers market capitalisation increased from £4.8 billion to £9.3 billion and the company returned £3.7 billion to shareholders.
