Telefônica Brasil announces an internal-group CFO move with a planned succession decision on April 2, 2026.

The company disclosed that Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer David Melcon Sanchez-Friera will step down on April 2, 2026 to become CFO of VMED O2 UK Limited, a joint venture of Telefónica S.A. and Liberty Global. This indicates a leadership shift within the broader Telefónica group rather than an external departure.

The Board states it will decide on his successor on April 2, 2026, keeping the transition tied to a defined governance milestone.
