Eutelsat changes CCO
Chris Forrester
It seems that best practice currently at Europe’s two largest satellite operators is to change CCOs. A few weeks ago it was SES Astra which let Alexander Oudendijk go. Now it is Eutelsat’s turn, with Olivier Millie-Lacroix leaving at the end of the month.
Andrew Wallace is Eutelsat’s new CCO, and is well known on the consumer equipment side of the business as a former marketing director at Pace, the UK-based set-top box specialists.
Commenting on Andrew's arrival, Michel de Rosen, Eutelsat CEO said: "We welcome the vast amount of commercial experience and knowledge of the media and telecommunications markets that Andrew brings to Eutelsat. At the head of a team assembling some of the most skilled and knowledgeable experts in the industry, he is well equipped to take Eutelsat into the next stage of its commercial expansion and maturity, supporting our significant in-orbit investment programme". He added: "I wish to thank Olivier for his valuable contributions to Eutelsat's remarkable success story and wish him well in his new professional pursuits."
