Breezeline Shake Up: Breezeline President Frank van der Post is leaving the company after corporate parent Cogeco, based in Montreal, yesterday announced a leadership reorganization intended to create a “simpler North American” company that will unify commercial, operational, and technical functions of its telecommunications businesses. Also leaving Cogeco is Chief Legal and Corporate Affairs Officer Valéry Zamuner, who moved into that role last September. Cogeco’s statement said both van der Post and Zamuner “have decided to leave the corporation to pursue new opportunities.” In the statement, Cogeco President and CEO Frédéric Perro said, “I would also like to thank our departing executives, Valéry Zamuner and Frank van der Post, for their contributions. Mr. van der Post has been instrumental in leading our U.S. operations for the past five years.” As part of the shake up, Sean Brushett, Breezeline’s Vice President of Customer and Technical Operations, will become Cogeco’s Chief Operating Officer “responsible for the performance of the corporation's call centers, field operations, facilities, and supply chain across Canada and the U.S.,” Cogeco said.
