Maggie Wilderotter, who has been CEO of Frontier Communications for about a decade, is transitioning to a new role with the company. Frontier announced Tuesday that Daniel McCarthy, who is currently President and Chief Operating Officer will succeed Wilderotter and become President and CEO effective April 3.
Wilderotter will fill a new role as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. Wilderotter says now is the right time to transition the leadership responsibilities.
Frontier's lead director, Howard Schott, says the announcement is the result of an ongoing succession plan, which took on special emphasis several years ago when Wilderotter first discussed her plans with the board.
Frontier employs about 1500 people in the Rochester area.
