Sky has promoted Amber Pine to a new position of managing director of connectivity.
Pine expands her previous role as head of Sky Broadband to include Sky Mobile as teams from both businesses come together under her leadership.
Sky is one of the leading broadband and mobile providers in the UK with 5.7 million broadband subscribers and a further 3 million mobile customers. The MVNO relies on a wholesale agreement with VM02.
Pine’s new role includes commercial and P+L management, propositions, marketing, and product delivery across broadband and mobile.
“The connectivity market is at a critical juncture, with the roll out and take up of both full fibre and 5G,” she said.
“In tandem, people are consuming more bandwidth and data than ever before, which means delivering best-in-class technology and a seamless connectivity experience is crucial. This, combined with outstanding customer experience, is what we do best at Sky, and I’m excited to be bringing two fantastic teams together to enable this to happen at an even greater scale.”
Sophie Ahmad, chief consumer officer at Sky, thanked Pine and Paul Sweeney, the managing director of Sky Mobile, for their work across the two businesses.
“Under Amber and Paul’s leadership, Sky Broadband and Sky Mobile have thrived, with Sky Mobile becoming the fastest growing mobile provider in the UK, and Sky Broadband retaining its steadfast position in the market. The newly combined teams reflect Sky’s focus on connectivity, which is integral to delivering the UK’s connected future both in and out the home. Amber’s broad range of experience means she’s perfectly placed to lead the newly combined team.”
