Somchai Lertsutiwong, chief executive of leading mobile operator Advanced Info Service (AIS), is tipped to be requested to continue in his current role for another one or two years or become an adviser to the new leadership after his retirement at the end of this year, according to industry sources.
The move is expected to facilitate the smooth transition of AIS in the face of several key developments of the firm, including its transformation into a cognitive telco by 2024 and its planned acquisition of fixed broadband provider Triple T Broadband (TTTBB).
