“I am thrilled to join Brightspeed and the exceptional leadership team in bringing new and better Internet access to so many communities that will truly benefit from it,” said Ms. Madock. “Throughout my career, my focus has been on driving innovation, building product lines for long-term growth and loyalty, and providing a best-in-class customer experience. Brightspeed embodies this commitment and I look forward to having a meaningful impact in this incredibly exciting fiber optics transformation.”
Brightspeed previously announced plans to invest more than $2 billion to build a network that will bring faster, more reliable Internet and Wi-Fi to communities throughout the Midwest, Southeast, and certain parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The company’s planned fiber optics transformation is expected to reach up to three million homes and businesses over the next five years, including in many places where fiber and advanced technology have not historically been deployed.
Brightspeed will initially be comprised of the incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) assets and associated operations of Lumen Technologies across 20 states, which are the subject of a pending acquisition by Apollo-managed funds.
