Scattareggia and Flannery previously served as the CROs for their respective units. They succeed former Windstream Wholesale and Enterprise President Buddy Bayer, who is departing at the end of the year.
“Joe Scattareggia and Mike Flannery are highly skilled telecommunications executives with a deep understanding of our network, products and people,” noted Windstream CEO and Chairman, Paul Sunu. “They are both keenly focused on meeting our customers’ needs in a rapidly changing marketplace. I have had the opportunity to work with both Joe and Mike and am looking forward to collaborating alongside them even more closely in the future.”
Scattareggia joined Windstream in 2013; Flannery in 2017. Each will be responsible for all sales, marketing, service delivery and customer care. Scattareggia will also have responsibility for field operations, while Flannery will continue to oversee the Windstream Enterprise Channel Program.
“I am truly honored for the opportunity to lead this great team,” said Scattareggia. “Working alongside Buddy for nine years has been a privilege, and we had a lot of fun fostering a strong friendship. I look forward to collaborating closely with Paul and our senior leadership team to further propel the growth of Windstream Wholesale. Our commitment to our customers and our team, recognized as ‘best in the business’ in the industry remains unwavering as we continue to execute our strategic goals and nurture the vibrant spirit of our Fast and Flexible culture.”
“Accepting the role to lead the Enterprise organization is an exciting opportunity for me and aligns well with my background in guiding customer-centric organizations through transformations over my career,” said Flannery. “I am confident in the organization’s ability to adapt and drive the necessary changes required within our business and industry. We will move forward focused upon utilizing a customer-centric mindset, led by a people-first approach that guides and enables us to deliver on our commitments to customers, partners, employees and stakeholders of Windstream Enterprise.”
