(Reuters) - Sprint Corp <S.N> said on Friday it named Andrew Davies chief financial officer ahead of its pending merger with rival T-Mobile US Inc <TMUS.O>.

Davies replaces Michel Combes, who was promoted to the role of chief executive officer last month.

Davies most recently was Group CFO of Amsterdam-based telecom company Veon.

He has spent over a decade with Britain's Vodafone Group <VOD.L> in various financial leadership positions in Japan, Turkey and India, and was also CFO of Verizon Wireless in the United States.

Davies takes over as Sprint CFO on July 2.

T-Mobile and Sprint, the third- and fourth-largest wireless carries, agreed to a $26 billion all-stock deal in April.
