Glide swoops on new Head of Regulation and Compliance

Glide Group has appointed Max Fernando as Head of Regulation and Compliance, to head up the implementation of several upcoming regulatory telecommunications initiatives, such as the Telecoms Security Bill, One Touch Switching and Project Gigabit.

Fernando joins Glide from BT where he served as Regulatory Manager, responsible for several areas of regulatory negotiations including open communications and Broadband Universal Service Obligation.

He was recently appointed Chair of The INCA Standards Committee and has worked across three teams in Ofcom.

“It’s one of the most interesting times to be working in an altnet, especially from a regulatory perspective,” he said.

CEO Tim Pilcher: “Max’s appointment marks a significant step working with regulators, government and industry to ensure that future initiatives achieve their goals for altnets.”
