Nexfibre Appoints Ex-Openreach Veteran as New UK Chief Commercial Officer
Broadband network operator nexfibre, which shares some of their parentage with Virgin Media and O2 (harnessing the same build teams), has today announced the appointment of ex-Openreach veteran Ses Indy – where he spent 17 long years and held various senior roles – to be their new Chief Commercial Officer (CCO).
Indy has more than 25 years of experience across digital infrastructure and fixed telecommunications – mostly via Openreach and BT, holding various senior commercial leadership roles and working closely with major communications providers, including Sky Broadband, Vodafone and PXC, with a particular focus on wholesale strategy and customer growth.
At nexfibre, Indy will lead the company’s commercial strategy, revenue growth and customer engagement activities. His appointment comes at a key moment for the business as it progresses its planned £2bn acquisition of Netomnia in order to create a combined full fibre network footprint of approximately 8 million premises by the end of 2027.

Does working at Openreach make the years feel exceptionally long? (“17 Long years”)
Asking for a friend 🙂
Working almost any place for that long would feel the same.
Just a temp
Presumably his experience is in acquiring and maintaining ISP partners. Otherwise I’m not sure what impact he will be having.
Hi LinkedIn post about this talks specifically about “…fantastic opportunity to help build a scaled wholesale challenger and bring high-quality full-fibre connectivity to more homes and businesses across the UK.” That reads like someone being brought in to help create a wholesale operation.
Oh, I see.
Asked to leave by Openreach for the Ethernet volume disaster, know for managing customer relationships by taking them out for excess drinking sessions , can’t see this adding much value or lasting very long .
Plus he has had a name change since being booted out lol .
