John Bickham, COO of Charter Communications, was appointed as the company’s new president on Thursday.
Bickham joined Charter in 2012 and will now serve a dual role as president and COO of Charter, the second largest cable operator in the U.S.
“It is no accident that Charter has become the fastest growing cable company in the nation over the last several years under John’s leadership,” Charter CEO and Chairman Tom Rutledge said in a statement. “His operational expertise will continue to be invaluable to the company as we integrate three companies into one, and bring the many benefits of the Charter strategy and the Spectrum brand to millions of customers.”
Before joining Charter, Bickham was the President of Cable and Communications at Cablevision, Executive Vice President for Time Warner Cable, and was a founding executive of cable company KBLCOM.
