John Reid
By: CWC, Press Release

    May 17th, 2016 -- John Reid’s entire 28 year career, apart from the year he completed his undergraduate degree, has been spent in the cable television and telecommunications industry, where he has developed a record for driving growth, leading complex integrations and introducing a culture of innovation and employee satisfaction, first in Canada, and during the past 11 years, across the Caribbean.

     

    In year one following the acquisition of Columbus by CWC, and as President of the Consumer Group, John and his team increased EBITDA by 12% with a $12m run rate of realized synergies. Under John’s leadership, the consumer group embodied an approach of strategic commercial and customer focused leadership.

    • The launch of Flow Sports - Caribbean’s first High Definition Sports Network; while also securing the exclusive 3-year rights to the region’s most popular sports programming- the English Premier League
     
    • Construction of the Region’s first 100% fibre-to-the-home network in Barbados – in which the company recently launched a 1Gb residential Broadband service
     
    • The rebranding of ten markets across the Caribbean, while launching eight new retail format stores
     
    • The commencement of the insourcing of the field services across the region and the construction of a new 300-seat contact center in Jamaica   
    Prior to his role as President of the Consumer Group, CWC, John was employed with Columbus Communications for 10 years, serving as President of the Consumer Operations prior to the acquisition of Columbus by CWC. From 1993-2004, John held various roles with Canadian MSO Persona Communications, holding the position of Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer before joining Columbus.  At Columbus from the period 2010-2014, Consumer Group Revenue grew by 145% to $360m; EBITDA grew by 138% to $148m; and Revenue Generating Units (RGU’s) increased to 711,000, representing an 89% increase. John also successfully led the integration of several cable television acquisitions, notably in Grenada, St. Vincent, Barbados and St. Lucia, and oversaw the launch of a greenfield operation in Curacao.
