LONDON -- Truphone, the global mobile operator, announced the appointment of Chris Moss as its Chief Marketing Officer.

"Re-inventing mobile communications is in my DNA. I believe that we all want to be local when we travel, and a service which gives customers local prices and local numbers when they are abroad is a real game changing proposition," said Chris Moss, CMO of Truphone. "The sooner we see an end to switching SIMs or juggling multiple phones as synonymous with getting off a plane, the better. That's my new mission in life."
