Circet continues to evolve its U.S. executive leadership structure, reinforcing its commitment to customers, operational excellence and long-term growth across North America.

As part of this evolution, William “Bill” Hogg has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Circet USA.

In his new role, Bill Hogg will lead Circet USA’s operations across:

  • inside plants (ISP)
  • data centers
  • wireless
  • cloud network construction and engineering services

With more than 35 years of experience in network infrastructure and operations, Bill Hogg brings extensive expertise in large-scale network deployment, engineering and operational leadership.

Most recently, he served as Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Gigapower LLC, an AT&T and BlackRock joint venture focused on open-access fiber-to-the-home infrastructure. Prior to that, he held several senior leadership positions at AT&T Inc. in technology operations, network engineering and digital transformation.

Circet's U.S. holding company also includes Blue Streak and CCU, its brands supporting critical outside plant (OSP) network construction, maintenance, and expansion for leading internet service providers. As previously announced, Ralph Hernandez continues as Chief Executive Officer of Blue Streak and CCU, overseeing all OSP construction services.

To further strengthen governance and alignment across the Circet's U.S. holding company and to support continued growth, Trevor Putrah, who previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Circet USA, will co‑chair the board of the U.S. holding company for Circet alongside Philippe Lamazou, Group Chief Executive Officer of Circet.

Commenting on the appointment of Bill Hogg, Trevor Putrah, Chairman of Circet’s U.S. holding company, said:

We are delighted to welcome Bill to lead Circet USA. He is an exceptional executive who has built and scaled some of the most ambitious network infrastructure platforms in the country. Bill brings firsthand experience in what our customers demand and what it takes to deliver reliably at scale. With Bill and Ralph leading our U.S. operations, we are confident in the strength of our U.S. platform and excited about the opportunities ahead for our customers and teams.

Bill Hogg, Chief Executive Officer of Circet USA, added:

Our customers are under real pressure to build faster and at greater scale than ever before, and the partners they choose to execute alongside them matter enormously. They need a partner who shows up on time, does the work right, and is there when it counts. Speed, quality, and dependability, that's what Circet USA is built to deliver. The opportunity in front of us is significant, and I'm focused on making sure we execute for our customers and create a great place for our people to grow.
