Chief transformation officer leaves immediately
By Computerworld staff | Auckland | Tuesday, 23 February, 2010
Telecom's chief transformation officer, Frank Mount, has resigned.
The resignation was accepted by Telecom CEO Paul Reynolds this morning and is effective immediately, according to a statement from Telecom. A Telecom spokeswoman declined to comment to Computerworld about whether Mount's resgination is related to the XT network outages, saying more detail would be revealed at a press conference on the XT situation scheduled for this afternoon.
In the statement announcing Mount's resignation, Reynolds is quoted as saying: “In the interests of our customers, our team and New Zealand, I have regretfully accepted Frank’s resignation.
“I am pleased to announce that CIO David Havercroft will assume the responsibility for all network and IT operations from today and CFO Russ Houlden will carry interim responsibility for our Shared Services operations and Technology Strategy", Reynolds says.
He goes on to say: “I want to acknowledge with personal gratitude Frank Mount's enormous contribution to Telecom over the past 18 months. He has worked tirelessly and selflessly for our customers and for Telecom people. The successful delivery of Telecom's Crown Undertakings schedule on Operational Separation represents one of the most significant operational and IT programmes in the company's history and is re-shaping the industry. I wish Frank well for the future,” Reynolds says.
Mount joined Telecom in June 2008. Before that, he was chief technology officer at Cable and Wireless in the UK, and has also held roles at Viatel, T-Mobile and AT&T.
