Full fibre broadband ISP Truespeed, which is rolling out a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network across rural parts of South West England, has today appointed Nelson Missier to be their new Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) to “further strengthen our leadership team and accelerate company growth“.
Nelson is said to have joined from Storytel, one of the world’s largest audiobook services, where he was Head of Europe and responsible for growth and profitability across all European markets. Prior to that, he was Commercial Director at the Swedish quadplay operator Tele2, and has previously led various product, commercial and strategy teams at BT, Booz & Company and Vodafone.
Suffice to say that the new CCO has a fair bit of experience in scaling-up organisations and driving customer growth, which is precisely what Truespeed needs. The operator, which has already covered 50,000 premises (mostly across Somerset and Bath) and holds an “ambitious target to reach 500,000 properties within the next five years” (i.e. by the end of 2026), is currently being funded by £175m from Aviva Investors.

James Lowther, Truespeed CEO, said:
“Nelson’s vast experience, drive and stellar record of delivering growth will be hugely influential as we continue scaling-up the business. His skillset will complement the high calibre leadership team we have at Truespeed and I look forward to working closely with him as we accelerate our rollout further.”
End.
