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 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.
