Wildanet has appointed Neil Conaghan as interim CEO, following the recent departure of Helen Wylde-Archibald, in addition to his current role as CEO at GoFibre, to support both companies’ strategic goals.

Martin Harriman, Chairman at Wildanet said: “We confirm that Neil Conaghan has been appointed Wildanet’s interim CEO.

“Neil currently serves as the CEO of GoFibre, another provider backed by Gresham House, and will continue in this role as well as assuming leadership of Wildanet in an interim capacity working with the senior management team to continue delivery of the strategic plan to provide gigabit speed full fibre broadband to underserved communities in the south-west of England.”

Conaghan brings extensive industry experience and a track record of leading fibre broadband rollouts.

In his dual role, he will support the ongoing execution of Wildanet’s Project Gigabit contracts and the broader strategic ambitions of both Wildanet and GoFibre.
