GCI Hires Its First Chief Technology Officer

Approaching its 50th year of operations, GCI has transitioned from a telephone and cable TV company into broader tech solutions, so now is the time to hire a Chief Technology Officer. The first person named to that position is Troy Goldie, most recently an executive at Louisiana-based Lumen Technologies, another legacy phone company that became a major telecom provider.

Last October, GCI reorganized certain functions—including technology strategy, product, planning and engineering, construction and project management, operations, application technology, and data and analytics—such that they would report to a CTO.

“It’s an honor to serve as GCI’s first Chief Technology Officer and to lead this talented and dedicated team,” says Goldie, who also carries the title of Senior Vice President. “GCI has a rich history of making a big impact in Alaska and successfully tackling many complex and important projects to bridge the digital divide. I look forward to helping GCI navigate and strengthen this new structure. This will allow us to better focus on our core mission of delivering connectivity to our customers and building and maintaining Alaska’s most advanced network.”
