TPx, a nationwide MSP that delivers managed networking, cybersecurity and cloud communications, named Shaun Andrews as its next CEO, effective immediately. Andrews is a former EVP and CMO with Lumen Technologies. With this announcement, former CEO, Rick Mace will retire from the position while remaining on with the TPx board of directors. He will also, it was noted, work closely with Andrews to ensure a smooth transition.
Andrews has over 25 years of experience in the telecommunications industry, with an extensive track record of driving strategic growth and transformation.
Prior to his stint with Lumen, he had profit/loss responsibility for products and services sold to enterprise customers, including managed services, SD-WAN and UCaaS. His appointment comes as the company looks to further accelerate TPx’s transition into an all-in-one provider of fully managed networking, cybersecurity and cloud communications services.
“It has been an incredible honor to lead TPx over the past few years and I am immensely proud of our team’s work to upgrade our technology infrastructure to deliver best-in-class solutions to our customers,” said Mace. “Shaun’s leadership skills, industry expertise and experience supporting mid-market and SMB customers make him the perfect candidate to lead TPx as we work to cement our market identity and fully implement our portfolio strategy to drive growth.”
“I have long admired TPx’s customer-centric approach to addressing the complex IT needs of the businesses that depend on TPx for business continuity and critical services,” said Andrews. “I am excited to step into this role at a pivotal moment in TPx’s growth trajectory and partner with the team to further strengthen the company’s offerings and processes for the benefit of its customers.”
“Shaun not only has significant experience in the managed service space, but also is a strong operator capable of driving transformation efforts in companies and teams,” added TPx director, Bret Griess. “I sincerely thank Rick for his leadership over the past several years as he built on our position as a best-in-class, nationwide managed service provider and further enhanced the experience of our more than 15,000 customers.”
