C&W’s Gilthorpe defects to BT arm
BT has poached Emma Gilthorpe, group director of regulatory affairs at rival telecoms company Cable & Wireless, to be director of equivalence and public affairs for its new division, Openreach.
Regulator Ofcom has rejected calls from telecoms competitors for BT to be broken up.
In a statement, Gilthorpe said she hoped Openreach could deliver 'equivalence' to the market by creating a level playing field between BT's own retail operations and its rivals. She joins on 1 December.
