Cellnex Telecom’s Board of Directors has today agreed to appoint Ana García Fau as a new independent director, with effect from 18 July this year, to fill the vacancy on the company’s Board of Directors that opened last April after Giampaolo Zambeletti did not stand for re-election as Director at the Meeting held on 28 April.

With her incorporation onto Cellnex’s Board of Directors, the number of independent members rises to eight out of a total of eleven, representing 73% in the company’s highest governing body.
