TORONTO – Wind Mobile has made a pair of new senior executive hires, Cartt.ca has learned.

New CEO Alek Krstajic has named Bob Boron as new chief regulatory officer and Bruce Kirby chief strategy officer and interim chief financial officer. The announcement was made internally earlier this week.

Both men held similar positions under Krstajic when all were at Public Mobile before it was acquired by Telus in 2013. Boron came to Public after he was president of cell site managing company Jade Tower and prior to that was an executive at Call-Net/Sprint Canda. Prior to spending five years at Public Mobile, Kirby held a number of positions at Bell Canada.

Simon Lockie, who has been Wind’s head of regulatory and one of its co-founders, and Brice Scheschuk, a Wind co-founder and CFO, will be returning to Globalive Communications (to work with Wind co-founder Tony Lacavera) after a short transition period.
