WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2026 – Charter Communications tapped Frontier Communications CEO **Nick Jeffery** as its new chief operating officer, counting on his turnaround experience to improve customer service and pricing performance across its national cable footprint.

[Charter said](https://corporate.charter.com/newsroom/charter-communications-names-frontier-ceo-nick-jeffery-chief-operating-officer?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) Jeffery will begin Sept. 1, 2026 and oversee marketing and sales, field operations and customer operations across its Spectrum residential and business services. He will report to President and CEO **Chris Winfrey** and be based in Stamford, Conn.

Jeffery has led Frontier since 2021, guiding the company through its post-bankruptcy transformation, expanding fiber network passings and improving customer metrics. Before Frontier, he served as CEO of Vodafone UK, where he led a multi-year operational turnaround. Verizon closed on its $20 billion acquisition of Frontier on Jan. 20, 2026.

An analyst at New Street Research described the move as a positive step for Charter. In a Feb. 25 research note, analyst [**Vikash Harlalka**](https://www.newstreetresearch.com/team/vikash-harlalka/?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) wrote that while fiber is “without a doubt, a better product than cable,” Jeffery’s success at Frontier could not be attributed to network quality alone. 

Harlalka said he was “bullish” that Jeffery could improve Charter’s price-to-value positioning and customer care, potentially supporting broader operating trends.

Charter operates across 41 states and has faced pressure in recent quarters from fiber over-builders and Fixed Wireless Access operators.
