He wants to share the experience which he has built up with the Telenet IT department within Liberty Global as MD and CIO. Veenod will be succeeded by Sam Lloyd. As of March 1, she will lead the IT department and be part of the senior leadership team.
Veenod Kurup has led the Telenet IT department since May 2013. Veenod will be sharing his experience with Liberty Global, where he will concentrate on the IT strategy of the European offices as MD and CIO.

“At the same time, we welcome Sam Lloyd, whose strong management skills and experience at Virgin Media will make her a worthy successor. Her arrival means that from now on, the senior leadership team will count as much women as men, and that will contribute to diversity within our company.”
