MILAN (Reuters) - Comcast-owned Sky Italia has appointed Vodafone executive director Andrea Duilio as its new chief executive effective Sept. 6, the media company said on Monday.

Duilio, 47, who heads Vodafone's consumer business unit in Italy, emerged as a top contender among external candidates for the Sky job in Italy, two people told Reuters last week.

He will succeed Maximo Ibarra who stepped down in April and will report to Stephen van Rooyen, CEO of Sky's UK and European operations.

"Duilio's experience will give an important push to the innovation and growth of Sky Italia, completing the transition towards a leaner and integrated business model with the group," van Rooyen said in a note.
