Graeme Millar, who has served as JT Group's CEO for 12 years, is to step down from the role to lead the recently sold Internet of Things (IoT) business. He will continue to be based in Jersey.
John Diamond, who has been with JT for 11 years – most recently in Australia, where he is Senior Vice-President, Asia Pacific – will act as Interim CEO of the group while the recruitment process for a permanent replacement takes place.
Phil Male, JT Chair, commented: “I would like to thank Graeme for the passion and devotion to JT he has shown over the years and the work he has done to transform JT into one of the planet’s most innovative and commercially astute telcos.
"While both Gigabit Jersey and our international growth have been major successes during Graeme’s time in office, I am most proud of the way that he led JT to support our communities when Covid hit.
“I know Graeme will work closely with John Diamond, who has for many years been part of our CEO succession plans.
"John will arrive in Jersey later this week to take up the position of Interim Group CEO, working with Graeme for a few weeks to ensure a smooth transition. In July, the board will launch the process to select a new permanent CEO.”
Graeme Millar added: “With Gigabit Jersey complete, a successful sale of our IoT business, and our Covid support efforts starting to wind down, it is the right time for JT to select a new leader for the next decade.
"I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead the next phase of growth of JT IoT, especially as this will allow me to continue to live in Jersey.”
