Vermont Business Magazine ValleyNet, ECFiber's implementation partner, announced today that it has chosen a new Managing Director, Christopher Recchia, of Randolph, VT. Recchia brings a wealth of non-profit and telecom regulatory experience, most notably as the head of Vermont’s Department of Public Service from 2012-2017. “ValleyNet and ECFiber have created a now-proven model for expanding quality high-speed broadband to rural New England and I look forward to expanding its availability to other areas, as well as bringing ECFiber’s network to its full potential,” Chris stated.
“I'm really excited at the prospect of working with Chris at ValleyNet,” said Irv Thomae, ECFiber chair. “His leadership style is an excellent match with our 'grass roots' origins and traditions, and his broad experience working with regulated utilities will be very helpful both in completing our own build-out process and helping other Communication Union Districts follow a similar path.”
ValleyNet board chair Stan Williams added, “We look forward to having Chris on board, as soon as he finishes weaning the bottle-fed lamb that currently follows him everywhere.”
