Lumen Appoints Chad Ho as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer
Ho to Succeed Veteran Executive Stacey Goff
DENVER, May 6, 2024 Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) today announced it has appointed Chad Ho as executive vice president and chief legal officer.
His appointment will begin in June. He succeeds Stacey Goff, whose legacy includes a distinguished 26-year career with Lumen and its predecessors. We anticipate that Mr. Goff will remain with the company
for a few weeks after Mr. Hos appointment to ensure a smooth transition.
Ho is an experienced chief legal officer with a unique track record
of success. He has extensive expertise advising market-leading publicly traded companies as well as emerging high-growth organizations. Ho served as the long-time general counsel of Hulu where, as part of the original management team, he helped grow
the company from pre-revenue to a multibillion-dollar business. After Hulus sale and integration into Disney, he oversaw Legal for the global business operations across Disneys TV networks and
streaming services. Most recently, Ho was chief legal officer for Sabre, a travel technology company with the largest global distribution system in the U.S. He holds a J.D. from Harvard Law School and a B.A. from Stanford University.
Chads innovative and proven experience with large public companies and his ability to fuel growth in the technology sector makes him the perfect
person to guide Lumen through its ongoing transformation, said Kate Johnson, president and CEO of Lumen. I am confident in Chads ability to bring unique insights and drive results. In addition, his ability to motivate is a great
cultural fit for this company.
Im excited to be joining Lumen at such a pivotal time, said Ho. With its world-class team
and unique technology capabilities, the opportunity is enormous.
I want to thank Stacey for his contributions, leadership and commitment
through many important moments in Lumens history. Stacey built a significant legacy, having led with care and empathy during challenging times. He leaves Lumen with a stronger foundation, said Johnson.
It has been a privilege to serve at Lumen, said Goff. Through the years, I have seen this company transform from a small telecommunications
firm into a powerful technology company. I have loved the many great people I have worked with here, am proud of all that we have achieved together and of the transformational journey that began so many years ago. I know Lumen has the right strategy
in place to deliver revenue growth. I look forward to watching the companys success.
