CityFibre has appointed technology and services industry veteran Christopher Stone as Non-Executive Chairman.
He brings a strong track record of building successful global businesses in the sector, most notably responsible for leading the transformation of Northgate Information Solutions (then known as McDonnell Douglas Information Systems) between 1999 to 2011 to become the world's second largest specialist HR technology and services business and the leading provider of software and services to the UK public sector.
He is currently a Non-Executive Director (formerly Chief Executive Officer) of Radius Worldwide, an expansion services company offering accounting, HR, legal, tax and compliance support to companies' international operations.
He led the business during its successful acquisition by private equity firm, HG Capital, in August 2013.
Previous positions include senior roles at Accenture, Electronic Data Systems, Digital Equipment Company, Fitness First and CSR, where he served as Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Remuneration Committee.
Greg Mesch, CEO of CityFibre, commented: "Chris brings to the Board extensive experience as a Non-Executive Director across a wide range of companies and sectors, and we look forward to his perspective and guidance as CityFibre continues its rapid growth and development in the dynamic and evolving UK communications infrastructure market."
