Business ISP FluidOne Appoints New CEO as Current Boss Steps Down
Business focused UK broadband ISP, IT and Cloud solutions provider FluidOne has today announced that their existing Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Russell Horton, is to step down after seven and a half years in the post. Russell is to be replaced by Paul Kahn.
The announcement credits Horton with growing the business into a £100m+ secure connected cloud solutions provider, which serves 2,200 business customers across the UK. Under his leadership, the company has also completed and integrated nine strategic acquisitions. Horton will support the handover process before officially departing on 8th December 2025, and will remain as an investor in the business.
Horton’s replacement, Paul Kahn, joins the business after serving as President of Government Solutions International at NYSE-listed Fortune 500 company KBR Inc. Prior to that he was also President of Communications and Connectivity at FTSE 250 Cobham PLC. Suffice to say that he has experience in leading large-scale technology, engineering and services businesses through “complex transformations and delivering sustainable growth“.

“I’m delighted to be joining FluidOne at such an exciting point in its development. Russell and the team have built a business with excellent foundations, strong customer relationships, a service portfolio bringing together secure connectivity, IT, cyber, unified comms and AI, and a culture that clearly delivers for customers.
My immediate focus is on listening and learning, understanding the business, our customers, and the team. I’ll be working closely with the senior leadership team to refine our strategy for the next phase of growth while maintaining the customer service excellence that FluidOne is known for.”
