Former BT employee Lee will join Voneus as it aims to double its customer footprint by 2023
Rural broadband provider Voneus Broadband has appointed Francesca Lee as its new chief commercial officer (CCO).
Lee possesses 18 years of experience in the telecoms sector with senior commercial roles at Virgin Media and BT Consumer where she launched many large-scale projects such as BT Sport and Netflix on BT TV.
In her previous role at BT Enterprise, she also negotiated key strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Samsung, and RingCentral.
Voneus has delivered its broadband to over 10,000 properties across England and Wales and aims to increase this to 20,000 hard-to-reach premises next year.
Voneus CEO Steve Leighton added: “Francesca brings vast experience of delivering effective commercial strategies based on customer and market insights within the telecommunications sector, as well as a passion for delivering change.
“Voneus is on a rapid growth curve as we look to scale up to provide much needed services to hard-to-reach communities, and I’m confident Francesca’s energy and vision will contribute to us achieving our goals.”
