BCI Broadband has hired John Gibbs to the post of senior vice president- business services, where he will report to BCI president and CEO Jeffrey DeMond.
Gibbs previously served as regional VP of commercial sales at Cablevision’s Optimum West division, which was comprised of the former Bresnan Communications systems that were recently sold to Charter Communications.
Gibbs is also late of Bresnan, and previously held management slots at Frontier Communications and Charter.
“Providing very advanced, customized business services has been a strategic part of our success in developing non-urban broadband systems since our earliest days in the industry,” DeMond said, in a statement. “Everyone at BCI is delighted to welcome John back to our team. His ability to anticipate the rapid changes in the needs of sophisticated business users and provide them with advanced solutions will serve BCI ‘s customers well as we continue to develop our markets.”
BCI, founded last year by former Bresnan execs DeMond and Andrew Kober along with private equity firm BBH Capital Partners, closed its acquisition of James Cable earlier this month, and sealed up its purchase of Allegiance Communications in April. BCI currently owns systems in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia and Wyoming passing more than 300,000 homes.
