Nancy Phillips, ViaWest Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Named Chief Executive Officer

“After almost fourteen years as ViaWest’s Chief Executive Officer, I have decided it is the right time to transition full executive responsibility to my long-time business partner and co-founder, Nancy Phillips,” stated Dimoff. “Together we have built a tremendous organization that, I am proud to say, has established a long track record of success. Nancy is the best person to build on ViaWest’s strong foundation, and I have the utmost confidence that the company will continue to thrive under her executive leadership.” Phillips and Dimoff have been entrepreneurs and business partners for 26 years.

Ms. Phillips, who has received several awards recognizing her leadership excellence, steps into the role of Chief Executive Officer during a period of strong company and industry growth. “ViaWest has accomplished a great deal since 1999,” Phillips said. “We have the right strategy, momentum in our markets, high-caliber employees, strong leadership and a tremendous reputation for customer service and product innovation. I look forward to leading the company as we continue to seize the opportunities ahead and build for the future.”

Robert Morse, a Partner of Oak Hill Capital Partners, which acquired ViaWest, along with GI Partners, in 2010, stated “Nancy and Roy have both been fundamental to ViaWest’s success over the years. Roy’s leadership has put ViaWest in a very strong position. Customers, partners and employees can have great confidence that, under Nancy’s direction, ViaWest will remain a leader in this growing industry.”
