Hyperoptic Announces Appointment of Mark Barlett as Chief Operating Officer

Hyperoptic, the UK’s leading alternative full fibre broadband provider, is delighted to announce the appointment of Mark Barlett as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO).

Mark’s extensive operational experience gained in senior leadership positions at Openreach, BT and, more recently, at Cellnex provides him with the ideal credentials to lead on key strategic initiatives, drive operational excellence and governance, and deliver a best-in-class customer experience.

CEO and co-founder, Dana Tobak CBE, commented on the appointment, “With ambitious targets and growth plans for 2025 and beyond, Mark’s impressive track record, knowledge and expertise put him in good stead to challenge the status quo, bolster our growth – especially within the new build market – and ensure we are continuously improving to deliver against our customer promises.“

Mark expressed his excitement about joining the executive leadership team at Hyperoptic stating, “I’m delighted to be joining the team at Hyperoptic at such a pivotal stage of its growth. This is familiar territory as I previously led the super and ultra-fast fibre programmes at Openreach, however the strong customer focus here at Hyperoptic resonated strongly with me. I am looking forward to supporting the team on its transformational journey to become the UK’s most loved and desired broadband provider.”
