In the past year, when Bharti Airtel and South Africa's MTN were in touch to revive merger talks, Sunil Bharti Mittal had been quietly building up a team of global talent with a proven track record to handle the telco's international ambitions. He had mandated leading international executive search firms Egon Zehnder and Amrop to scout for the best global talent, and the gambit has come up trumps.
As talks with MTN gained momentum about three to four months ago, Bharti's global team got a new member in German communications major T-Mobile's former chief technology officer Joachim Horn, who modernised that company's networks and set up its mobile broadband business in Europe.
