Swoop Wholesale has hired Julian Breen as its chief operating officer to oversee its national operations teams that build and support its network.
Breen comes with over 20 years of experience in the telecommunications industry and has worked with Swoop Wholesale’s CEO Alex West, sales marketing director Matt Hollis and head of networks Rick Carter at Vocus Communications and Superloop.
In an interview with CRN, Hollis said there was an opening to bring Breen on board when former COO Paul Reid decided to step back from his commitments.
“Paul was with Cirrus for 10 years and he’s earned some holiday. His family are still major investors in Swoop,” he said. “When Paul said he was stepping back we thought about who a good fit and it was a good opportunity to bring Julian on board.

While Athens City Schools spent the last five months working with an acting superintendent, the group also found itself in need of a new executive principal at Athens High School after Rick Carter moved up to take a job at the central office in October.
Assistant Principal Willie Moore, who is going on his third year at Athens High, was named interim executive principal at the time. Now Moore will be taking over the top spot, as the Board unanimously approved naming him executive principal at AHS during a special-called meeting Tuesday.
