In this newly created role, Flitton will be responsible for leading the infrastructure investment strategy for the EMEA region, to drive business growth and transformation, and meet the evolving needs of enterprise and wholesale customers.

He will oversee a multi-functional organisation across infrastructure strategy, network access management operations, and commercial relationships.
"We are delighted to welcome James to our EMEA leadership team and this pivotal role," said Murphy.

James' experience is an ideal fit for the company, as we look towards future infrastructure investments to accelerate growth and innovation and enable our customers to deliver amazing things."
Flitton will also be instrumental in shaping and executing the overall Lumen business strategy for EMEA, which centres around the company's purpose to further human progress through technology, and commitment to provide an exceptional customer experience.
"I feel very privileged to take on this new role with Lumen," said Flitton. "With its strong fibre footprint, industry-leading solutions, and customer-first approach, Lumen is uniquely positioned for continued business growth. I am excited about the opportunity to drive investments across the EMEA region, to ensure the network infrastructure remains current and ready to meet future demands."
