Tim Shaw is stepping down as KCOM CEO after three years at the helm and six and a half years at the business.
As CEO, Shaw oversaw the first phase of KCOM’s network expansion into new towns and villages and passed the 60% milestone of migration of customers off the copper network. He also oversaw the sale of the national business.
He said: “I’m immensely proud of the way the team has focused relentlessly on customer experience, embraced innovation and taken connectivity to even more homes in the region.”
He hands over the reins to CFO Richard Schäfer on an interim basis and a recruitment process for a permanent appointment is currently underway led by the Board.
Richard Greenleaf, Chair of KCOM, added: “Tim has led KCOM through a period of significant change, both for the business and in the wider UK telco market. We wish him the very best for his next chapter.”
