Imagine Communications has announced company President Steve Reynolds has moved into the position of CEO.

Reynolds succeeds Tom Cotney who will retire on 31st March 2025, although he will take on the role of non-executive chairman of Imagine's board.

I am excited to take on this new role as it allows me to end my career the way I started - basically as a salesman - doing work that is important to me and Imagine, rather than the grind of daily operations, said Cotney. Leading a company with such a storied legacy in the industry has been a privilege.

The two executives will work closely to continue the company's strong momentum and growth, while also ensuring a seamless leadership transition, said Imagine.

Reynolds joined Imagine in 2013, having previously held executive positions at Comcast, OpenTV Incorporated, ACTV Incorporated and Intellocity USA.

Speaking about his new role Reynolds said: The formula that Tom guided us toward over the past six years has been working, and we intend to continue moving toward those same objectives. What we've accomplished together has put Imagine in a strong position - debt-free, cash flow positive, and operating at an exceptional level of productivity and effectiveness.

Our message to the industry is that this leadership change is not going to change the way we work, the level of service we provide, or our commitment to upholding the high standards that define Imagine.
