NEW YORK – U.S. telecom Verizon today announced it has hired Manon Brouillette to the newly created role of Verizon Consumer Group’s (VCG) chief operating officer and deputy CEO.
Brouillette, the former president and CEO of Quebecor’s Videotron, “will drive Verizon’s market leadership in connected 5G experiences, while continuing to transform VCG into a fully integrated technology company,” reads the press release.

Additionally, she has the tenacity of an entrepreneur honed from her extensive board membership at experience-driven startups like Sonder, Lightspeed POS and BFAI. Her new role at Verizon Consumer Group is designed to help us maintain our operational excellence as we support our customers in a 4G world while accelerating towards a high-growth 5G future,” said Dunne in the announcement.
