Verizon further fleshed out its recent leadership shake up, naming former Hewlett Packard (HP) executive Jonathan Nikols to head the carrier’s enterprise operations in the Americas. The move comes a month after broader executive changes at the operator.

Nikols was named SVP of Verizon Business’ Global Enterprise, Americas operations, where he will oversee the carrier’s enterprise aspirations in the Western Hemisphere. This includes the carrier’s business-focused 5G services, private networking, fixed-wireless access (FWA) and mobile edge compute (MWC) services.

He previously served as global VP of services and solutions at HP, and had different management roles at AT&T, Polycom, NCR and Avaya.

Nikols will report into Massimo Peselli, who was named chief revenue officer for Verizon Business’ Global Enterprise and Public Sector last fall. Peselli took over the role vacated by Sowmyanarayan Sampath’s move from chief revenue officer to the Verizon Business CEO position last July.

Verizon Business did snag a big win last week when its Public Sector division scored a 15-year infrastructure contract with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) valued at more than $2 billion.

Verizon’s ongoing executive changes

The latest Verizon executive move comes a month after the carrier made abrupt changes across leadership positions at many of its operating divisions.

The biggest was moving Sampath from head of Verizon Business Group to CEO and EVP of Verizon’s Consumer Group. Manon Brouillette had held that position until late last year, when she stepped down after less than a year in the role. Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg had been overseeing that position.

Verizon’s consumer business has struggled over the past year to match growth from rivals AT&T and T-Mobile US. This includes slower consumer wireless growth that has stifled revenue growth.

Kyle Malady, who had led Verizon’s Global Networks and Technology division, replaced Sampath as head of Verizon Business. The move and accompanying language indicated Vestberg wanted to have deeper network insight in the business group.

“The technology is moving forward, especially in the Verizon business segment,” Vestberg said during an investor call on the changes. “It’s very important to have the technology acumen to be able to talk to the customers, the CIOs of our customers, the chief procurement officers, and even the CEO, so [Malady’s] extremely capable of doing that given his background and his way of leading.”

Verizon has been trying to better penetrate the business market, specifically around private networks. Sampath said during an investor conference in November that the carrier had dozens of private networks already deployed, with accelerating momentum.

“On the private networks, we are very bullish on that opportunity and I think things have gotten a little faster in the last 90 days than they’ve gotten in the last year or so,” Sampath said, adding most of Verizon’s initial private network deals have resulted in incremental spending by customers.

However, earlier this year, Vestberg bemoaned slower than expected uptake in the space could limit the carrier’s ability to hit $2 billion in MEC and enterprise-related revenues by 2025.
