(Bloomberg) -- Another member of Altice France’s executive committee is leaving the company, following months of turmoil at Patrick Drahi’s telecommunications group.

Chief Information Officer Grégory Quéré decided to take his career in another direction, according to an internal message by Altice France Chief Executive Officer Arthur Dreyfuss and the head of the country’s carrier SFR, Mathieu Cocq, seen by Bloomberg and confirmed by the company. He is being replaced by Jean-Pierre Large, an experienced transition manager from payment tech company Ingenico.

Altice, owned by French-Israeli billionaire Drahi, is racing to sell assets and cut its $60 billion debt pile. That effort has been hampered by a corruption investigation announced by Portuguese prosecutors in July. The probe ensnared Drahi’s co-founder Armando Pereira and led to the termination of more than a dozen employees and the restructuring of leadership teams.

Altice companies in Portugal, France and the US carried out internal investigations in the past months, with executives being interviewed by lawyers and computers searched. 

Quéré has worked at SFR since 2007 and was named at the executive committee in 2021. Quéré could not be reached for comment.

Last week, the former co-CEO of Altice, Alexandre Fonseca, left the group after being suspended for six months.
