Hyperoptic has appointed Liberty Global veteran Duncan Macdonald as its new CTIO, to deliver on the company’s commitment to give industry-leading customer experience through a focus on emerging technology for both network and systems.
Duncan will be responsible for ensuring Hyperoptic has the technical capability to support its rapid customer growth, as more broadband users turn away from the big providers in favour of great customer service and fair, transparent pricing.
Duncan will also be responsible for evolving Hyperoptic’s digital capabilities to ensure the best customer experience within the broadband industry, and maximising the stability and efficiency of services as Hyperoptic continues to grow its network reach and customer base.
Duncan has 25 years of experience in the telecom industry, with the last 16 years as part of the Liberty Global group. Duncan’s most recent role was CIO at Liberty Global-owned Sunrise, in Switzerland, and at Swiss cable operator UPC Schweiz before that. He played a central role within Liberty Global between 2016 and 2018, managing consumer IT across 11 European Telcos, having overseen a large-scale transformation of the mobile IT stack for Virgin Media in the UK.
“Hyperoptic is an exciting company in the UK’s broadband space today, with a premium network, a proven business model delivering great commercial results, and a vastly experienced leadership team,” said Duncan. “This is a great opportunity for me to apply learnings from international operations to a focused, agile, fast-moving business that’s setting new standards in our sector. With a heightened focus on customer experience, we are pushing ourselves to match and exceed our customers’ expectations in a digital world.”
Hyperoptic’s executive leadership team, led by Founder & CEO Dana Tobak, now boasts experience from some of the largest brands in the telecom industry, including BT, Three, Liberty Global, Lebara Group, Openreach, and Vodafone.
Hyperoptic Founder and CEO, Dana Tobak, said: “Duncan is committed to driving real business impact through the CTIO role, and he has the experience, expertise and attitude to push Hyperoptic to the next level of performance and efficiency. We continue to grow our network, our customer base and our profile, and Duncan will play an important role in supporting that growth as part of a very talented and experienced leadership team.”
