Cogeco Combines Canadian and U.S. Cable Operations

Montreal-based Cogeco Communications has restructured its operations, combining the “commercial, operational and technical” functions of its Canadian and Breezeline-branded U.S. telecommunications businesses into one North American unit. With the change, Breezeline president Frank van der Post will depart. Among a series of other job shifts announced in the press release, Sean Brushett, VP of customer services and technical operations for Breezeline, will become chief operating officer of the combined North American group. Cogeco acquired U.S. cable operator Atlantic Broadband for $1.36 billion in July 2012. It rebranded the operation as Breezeline in January 2022.
