Tuesday 17 May 2016

JT has announced the appointment of Thierry Berthouloux as Chief Information and Technology Officer (CITO) based in Jersey.

Mr Berthouloux replaces Dave Newbold who held the position of Chief Technical Officer for JT since 2010 and is leaving to take up a new post as Chief Technical Officer for Gigaclear Plc in the UK.

Mr Berthouloux has 25-years experience working in the European telecommunications industry, most recently as Chief Technical Officer for Monaco Telecom where he led domestic and international operations.

JT’s Chief Executive Officer, Graeme Millar said: “We’re delighted to introduce Thierry as our new CITO. His broad industry experience, particularly his time with Monaco Telecom a small-state operator that has set the standard across many areas, will enhance our existing leadership team and help JT to keep moving forward both in the Channel Islands and globally.

“Thierry is well equipped to support our 600 strong global team in delivering our key projects and will undoubtedly uphold the legacy of improving customer experience and service that Dave Newbold leaves behind. I’d like to take this opportunity to extend our great thanks to Dave who has been a hugely positive influence at JT. Learnings he gained during the roll-out of our fibre-to-the-home programme, stand him in good stead in his new role as Chief Technical Officer for one of the fastest and most reliable broadband networks in the UK.”

Thierry Berthouloux said: “I’m thrilled to be joining JT as CITO and look forward to working with its talented and dedicated team of people. This role offers me the opportunity to develop my own skills in a forward thinking environment where I can use my past experience, leadership skills and industry knowledge to help enhance existing network programmes and bring other innovative technologies to fruition.”
