Ho to Succeed Veteran Executive
Stacey Goff
DENVER, May 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) today announced it
has appointed Chad Ho as executive vice president and chief
legal officer. His appointment will begin in June. He succeeds
Stacey Goff, whose legacy includes a
distinguished 26-year career with Lumen and its predecessors. We
anticipate that Mr. Goff will remain with the company for a few
weeks after Mr. Ho's appointment to ensure a smooth
transition.
Ho is an experienced chief legal officer with a unique track
record of success. He has extensive expertise advising
market-leading publicly traded companies as well as emerging
high-growth organizations. Ho served as the long-time general
counsel of Hulu where, as part of the original management team, he
helped grow the company from pre-revenue to a multibillion-dollar
business. After Hulu's sale and integration into Disney, he oversaw
Legal for the global business operations across Disney's TV
networks and streaming services. Most recently, Ho was chief legal
officer for Sabre, a travel technology company with the largest
global distribution system in the U.S. He holds a J.D. from
Harvard Law School and a B.A. from
Stanford University.
"Chad's innovative and proven
experience with large public companies and his ability to fuel
growth in the technology sector makes him the perfect person to
guide Lumen through its ongoing transformation," said Kate Johnson, president and CEO of Lumen. "I am
confident in Chad's ability to
bring unique insights and drive results. In addition, his ability
to motivate is a great cultural fit for this company."
"I'm excited to be joining Lumen at such a pivotal time," said
Ho. "With its world-class team and unique technology capabilities,
the opportunity is enormous."
"I want to thank Stacey for his contributions, leadership and
commitment through many important moments in Lumen's history.
Stacey built a significant legacy, having led with care and empathy
during challenging times. He leaves Lumen with a stronger
foundation," said Johnson.
"It has been a privilege to serve at Lumen," said Goff. "Through
the years, I have seen this company transform from a small
telecommunications firm into a powerful technology company. I have
loved the many great people I have worked with here, am proud of
all that we have achieved together and of the transformational
journey that began so many years ago. I know Lumen has the right
strategy in place to deliver revenue growth. I look forward to
watching the company's success."
