ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TierPoint today announced that Mary Meduski and Tom McMillin will support the company as investors, members of its board of directors, and members of its Office of the Chairman, serving as President and Chief Financial Officer and President and Chief Operating Officer, respectively. They will serve in the same executive positions with TierPoint’s management company, Cequel III.
Most recently, Meduski and McMillin were Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, of Suddenlink Communications, the acquisition of which was completed today by the Altice Group.
"I first worked with Tom at Cencom Cable in the 1980s and with Mary at AAT Communications, starting in 2003,” said TierPoint Chairman and CEO Jerry Kent. “Since 2006, the three of us have enjoyed a phenomenal working relationship at Suddenlink, a company that consistently achieved financial and operating results among the best in its industry.”
Kent added: “Mary and Tom are exceptionally skilled leaders, and I’m thrilled we can continue our partnership on behalf of TierPoint’s customers, investors, and employees. The timing couldn’t be better for these additions to the management team, with our recent acquisitions of AlteredScale’s Chicago data center and Windstream’s data center business.”
The acquisition of AlteredScale’s Chicago data center was announced on December 17, and the closing of the $575 million, all-cash transaction with Windstream was announced the next day.
Concurrent with Meduski and McMillin joining TierPoint, Andy Stewart will assume the position of Chief Strategy Officer and report into the Office of the Chairman, focusing on merger and acquisition opportunities and product development.
“Andy’s thorough understanding of this business and the industry relationships he has developed have been critical to TierPoint’s success,” Kent said. “We’re delighted the company will continue to benefit from his considerable talents.”
