TORONTO – Rogers Communications has named now former Vodafone UK CTO as its new chief technology officer.
RCI CEO Joe Natale made the announcement Thursday morning during the company’s conference call with financial analysts discussing its Q4 and full year 2017 results.
Fernandes “brings a great depth and breadth of global experience across wireless, cable and telecom,” said Natale. Fernandes replaces Bob Berner, who retired at the end of 2017 after 30 years with the company.
