Resignation of Chief Executive Officer Philip Micallef

Philip Micallef, a key player in Bermuda’s comprehensive and successful de-regulation of the telecommunications industry during the past two years, is to return to Europe earlier than expected, at the end of September, for personal reasons.

Regulatory Authority Chairman Kent Stewart said “We regret enormously that Philip has made this decision – he has worked tirelessly over the last two years to set us off on the right foot. 

“In doing so, he has won the admiration of the public certainly, who as consumers have been the principal beneficiaries of his work, and both the Government and the industry, which I think saw him as a hard-working, knowledgeable and fair arbiter in the highly complex communications arena.

“Philip leaves with our great gratitude for all he has accomplished, and we wish him well in the future.

“We will start the process of looking for a suitable replacement immediately, and hope to have someone in place before he leaves.

Mr Micallef has extensive experience in middle and senior management roles during the last 25 years with various organisations in the ICT and telecommunication sectors across Europe and in Malta.
