Telenet names Rodriquez to board

Enrique Rodriguez

Liberty Global-backed Belgian cable operator Telenet has named Liberty’s EVP and chief technology officer Enrique Rodriquez to its board following the departure of Liberty commercial chief Diederik Karsten last month.

Rodriquez will be appointed as director in the run up to Telenet’s general meeting on April 24.

Rodriquez joined Liberty Global in July last year, having previously served as CEO of TiVo. He has also previously served as CTO at AT&T Entertainment Group.

Karsten departed from Liberty Global following its January move to decentralise its organisation in line with the reduced size of the company following the ongoing sale of its assets in Germany, Switzerland and central Europe.
