Openreach’s MD for Strategic Infrastructure and Development, Kim Mears OBE, will retire from the role in March. Katie Milligan will widen her remit to become Chief Commercial Officer.
Mears joined Openreach in 2006 and has been a member of the Openreach leadership team for the last ten years. Her services to the comms industry saw her awarded an OBE in 2020. She will remain in the capacity of Executive adviser and Chair of Welsh Board.
