LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y. — It is Dexter Goei’s intention to return to Europe with his family. As such, the Board of Directors for cable television service provider Altice USA has appointed a new CEO.
He takes the reins on October 3, when Goei becomes Executive Chairman of the Board.
Succeeding Goei is Dennis Mathew.
Mathew joins Altice USA from Comcast, where he spent the last 17 years in senior corporate and operational leadership positions, leading the company’s largest regions with a focus on all aspects of the residential and commercial businesses for the entire Comcast portfolio of products and services.
Mathew oversaw the organization’s strategic, financial, and operational performance in the Freedom and Western New England Regions, positioning his regions to become best-in-class for customer experience and employee engagement at Comcast.
“I am pleased to welcome someone of Dennis’ caliber and mindset to Altice USA,” said Patrick Drahi, Founder and Chairman of the Board, who will remain in that role. “He has an impressive track record at Comcast, driving transformation and success in highly competitive markets and redefining the role of telecommunications services for customers through a superior service experience, all of which will serve us well. With our fiber network deployment well underway, I am confident that Dennis is the right leader to build on the momentum we have made as we bring the most advanced fiber broadband services to our customers across the country. Dennis’ leadership approach, along with his commitment to our people, our customers, and our communities, will have a tremendous impact on Altice USA today and into the future.”
Mathew commented, “As Altice USA advances its position as a converged fixed and wireless player, I see immense potential to further connect with and serve customers in new ways while elevating the company as the connectivity provider of choice. I look forward to leading such an innovative company that has the right vision and long-term strategy centered on investments in fiber infrastructure and a superior customer experience. I thank Patrick and Dexter for their trust and for the opportunity, and I am eager to begin working with the talented leadership team and employees at Altice USA to build on the success they have achieved and continue to foster an inclusive culture for all.”
