Neos Networks UK Appoints Lee Myall as its New CEO

Network operator Neos Networks, which runs one of the fastest growing, high capacity business fibre networks in the UK – spanning 34,000km and 550 exchanges, has today announced that its existing CEO, Colin Sempill, is to be replaced by Lee Myall, who joins the business from Kao Data where he is the CEO.

Colin Sempill will continue on in the CEO role until Lee joins the company, after which Colin will focus on key strategic growth initiatives, including the leadership of the Network Rail telecoms upgrade project. The latter is a reference to Project Reach, which among other things will see Neos invest in the design and build of a new trackside fibre optic communications network.

As for Lee, we should point out that he also spent 15 years at Interoute, an operator of integrated network and enterprise services, where he had strategic and operational responsibility for the UK, the largest business unit in the company.

The Board of Neos Networks said:

“We are delighted to welcome Lee to Neos. With a career spanning nearly three decades, he has extensive experience and deep knowledge of the sector, including an impressive track record in growing and leading telecoms businesses whilst enhancing operational performance. Lee is well positioned to accelerate the momentum already achieved at Neos as we look to strengthen our delivery of high-capacity end-to-end fibre connections across the UK.”

End.
