Vorboss Expands Commercial Leadership Team as Business Continues to Grow

‍

London, 18 July 2024: Vorboss, London’s leading provider of direct internet connectivity for business, continues its growth with the creation of two new commercial roles, appointing industry experts with 30 years of experience at the biggest internet providers.

Jason O'Malley joins as Chief of Commercial Operations, having previously been at Zayo and BT. Malcolm Puddefoot joins as Chief Revenue Officer, coming from Colt Technology. The appointments will ensure Vorboss can meet the growing demand for highly reliable, high-quality fibre from London’s businesses. Vorboss has invested £250 million into building its network in central London.

Jason will oversee the company's commercial and marketing operations. Malcolm will drive revenue performance and sales initiatives across direct, indirect and strategic partner sales channels. The combined expertise will be instrumental in maximising financial return from the Vorboss network.

Tim Creswick, CEO of Vorboss, added: “We’re bringing in high quality industry leaders who will be instrumental in making our fibre network available to new partners and customers. Jason and Malcolm bring hugely valuable experience, but they both also know that things in our industry can be done differently, and better. They’re here at Vorboss to deliver a new way of connecting London’s business community.”

Vorboss recently opened new headquarters in the City of London, and created 60 new London-based account management roles to meet growth in demand. The expanded team specializes in supporting customers in key industries, including media, broadcast, finance, healthcare, hospitality, hotels and fitness.

Vorboss owns and runs its own network, offering speeds of 10Gbps and 100Gbps directly to customers, with a 25Gbps plan available via channel partners. More than 250 technicians and engineers have trained in-house at the company’s academy, and more than a third of Vorboss’ field technicians are women.
