Cogeco Communications (TSX:CCA) has appointed Frank van der Post president of Atlantic Broadband, effective Nov. 4. He will be based in Quincy, MA.

"Frank's proven leadership skills combined with his strong strategic marketing knowledge and a track record of successfully delivering results, particularly in industries that are highly customer-focused, make him an ideal candidate to take the leadership role at Atlantic Broadband," said Philippe Jette, president and CEO of Cogeco.

Van der Post joins Atlantic Broadband from KPN, a Dutch multi-service telecommunications operator with more than 7 million customers in the residential and enterprise markets, where he served as chief commercial officer and as a member of the firm's management board from 2015 to 2018. Before KPN, van der Post spent several years in the airline and hospitality industries.

"I am excited to join Atlantic Broadband and Cogeco Communications, and am delighted to be moving back to the U.S. where I studied and spent more than 15 years earlier in my career," said van der Post. "I look forward to working with the entire team to lead Atlantic Broadband to the next stage of its growth, bringing a strong focus on customer experience as it amplifies its marketing activities and reinforces its brand in this highly competitive market."
