Dan Topatigh has been named the new president and CEO of Tbaytel
Topatigh had served as interim boss of the city's telecom provider for nine months following the departure of Don Campbell.
He's served as Tbaytel's chief financial officer since 2007.
In an Oct. 1 press release, municipal service board chair Michael Power said Topatigh has been “an integral force” in advancing many strategic initiatives.
“I have no doubt that he will bring the same level of commitment as the newest president and CEO to continue providing Tbaytel’s customers with innovative telecommunication solutions with an emphasis on exceptional customer service.”
Among the priorities for Tbaytel include enhancing capacity and coverage of its wireless network across the North, improving bandwidth capabilities and expanding service offerings such as digital TV and fibre.
Prior to coming to Tbaytel, Topatigh held the senior management position of pulp and paper controller at Bowater’s Thunder Bay mill. He was the controller and continuous improvement manager for Abitibi Consolidated’s Thunder Bay mill for 10 years. He also worked for KPMG Thunder Bay as the senior manager responsible for overseeing audit and non-audit engagements.
"Dan is an excellent leader with a firm understanding of Tbaytel’s longstanding history and commitment to innovation, expansion and most importantly, to promoting a culture of exceptional customer experience,” said Power.
