- He is replaced as CEO by group chief operating officer Simon Holden
Major UK fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) altnet CityFibre has a new CEO after Greg Mesch, who had been at the helm since the company’s launch in early 2011, stepped down after 15 years to take on a new role as vice chairman of the operator. He is replaced by Simon Holden, who joined CityFibre in 2019 as group chief operating officer and a board director.
The leadership transition follows CityFibre’s news in July that it had secured new financing worth almost £2.3bn – see CityFibre girds its M&A loins as it secures £2.3bn in funding.
