Effective July 1, both Ray and Srinivasan will report to John Bickham, Charter President and COO, and will be based out of Charter's corporate headquarters in Stamford. 

"Both Adam and Magesh are valued, successful leaders at Charter and their extensive expertise will help drive Charter's continued success," said Bickham. "Adam is a veteran sales, marketing, and operations leader, skilled in negotiation and team building, which will position this new, dedicated organization well to capitalize on the sizable opportunity in the MDU marketplace.
