CALGARY – CCI Wireless CEO Amir Bigloo is leaving the Alberta-based rural internet provider next month to pursue other unspecified opportunities.
Current CFO Adam Lamont will serve as interim CEO, and Bigloo will assist in the transition until June 9.
Over his eight-year tenure as CEO, Bigloo’s most notable accomplishments for CCI include developing strategy, significant fundraising for the then-new wireless network, and cultivating relationships with all three levels of government, the company said.
“Since almost the very start of CCI, Amir’s guidance and leadership has been instrumental in building CCI Wireless into a leading provider of rural broadband throughout Alberta”, said CCI Wireless board chairman Charlie Cutforth, in the announcement. “While there is never an ideal time for this type of departure, the team built at CCI Wireless over the past eight years has the strength, savvy and technical knowledge to ensure that the company continues to grow and connect rural Albertans throughout the province.”
“CCI Wireless is very fortunate to have a talented, focused and motivated team that always strives to put our customers and their communities first,” added Bigloo. “Our company is a true Alberta success story, built by Albertans to serve Albertans. Our goal is to ensure rural and remote residents and communities have access to the very best Internet technology so that families, small business and civic operations can thrive, and I am confident that with the team in place, CCI Wireless will continue to improve rural connectivity.”
