"When Consolidated Communications changed its name to Fidium several weeks ago, it was a recognition of a range of changes at the company, including the appointment of a new CEO. Telecompetitor spoke recently with Gaurav Juneja, who will replace retiring CEO Bob Udell in January. We discussed the company's fiber-focused transformation and Juneja's plans for the company. "Our biggest challenge is to continue growing at the same rate we have been for the last three years," said Juneja. "It's a good problem to have.""
"The company, he said, has seen its fiber business grow 35% to 40% each year for the last three years. "We have to keep growing at the same rate," Juneja commented. "We have to gain more share." Juneja, who has been with Fidium since 2023, is a veteran of several telecom companies, including Metronet, DISH, and Rise Broadband. Fidium operates in eight states, with a heavy concentration of customers in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont."
Fidium changed its name from Consolidated Communications following strategic shifts and leadership transition with Gaurav Juneja set to succeed Bob Udell in January. The company has pivoted to fiber as the primary broadband technology, now serving more than two thirds of broadband customers via fiber and targeting at least 80% within a few years. Fiber revenue grew roughly 35–40% annually over the last three years. The growth plan emphasizes accelerating fiber builds, improving consumer experience through process improvement, building a highly engaged employee base, and pursuing operational excellence. Fidium operates in eight states and is privately owned.
