True opts to expand C-suite
True Corporation yesterday announced the appointment of a management leadership team with a flatter and more focused organisational structure that has customers at the core, as well as its first ever appointment of a chief data and AI officer. The new structure is effective as of Sept 1, with the number of high-ranking corporate officers rising from 11 to 13. The new organisational structure is meant to promote simplicity and accelerate speed to market in response to evolving customer needs and shifts in technology, said Sigve Brekke, group chief executive of True Corporation Plc. "The latest restructure will bring a flatter and more focused company, enhancing consumer touchpoints and experience while allowing for more efficient management and decision-making," he said. True is positioning itself as an artificial intelligence-first company, integrating AI across all aspects of operations, systems, planning and knowledge management, said Mr Brekke. True is also connecting customer data across online, offline, app, and call centre channels to deliver a seamless experience. To support this transformation, True appointed Manat Manavutiveth as chief customer experience and retail officer, overseeing all nationwide sales and service channels. Sharad Mehrotra becomes True's chief consumer business officer, responsible for product development, while Khurrum Ashfaque is chief network officer, tasked with developing an AI-driven, automated network. Tanaphon Manavutiveth was appointed chief home connectivity officer, responsible for delivering a complete digital lifestyle offering, including broadband, entertainment and smart home solutions for millions of households. Teeradet Dumrongbhalasitr serves as chief business officer, leading the company's business-to-business digital transformation and positioning True as a trusted technology partner for enterprises. The company plans to appoint its first chief data and AI officer shortly. "Over the next six months, we will focus on three priorities to enhance the customer experience in every area," said Mr Brekke. True's nationwide One Network project is expected to be completed next month, significantly improving 5G and 4G coverage and performance. The company recently won a licence for 70 megahertz of bandwidth on the 2300MHz spectrum, which should deliver a 17% performance boost and support future 5G expansion, he said. True plans to refarm the 2600MHz spectrum using dynamic spectrum sharing technology to enable flexible usage between 5G and 4G. The full 90MHz bandwidth will be utilised for 5G, according to the company. True's newly acquired 1500MHz spectrum should enhance downlink capacity, working alongside other low-band frequencies to improve network speed and efficiency. The company wants to allow all customers to complete service transactions via apps across all platforms. This year 19% of customer transactions have shifted to digital channels, and this figure continues to grow, noted True.

MVCC chosen for Governor's 'ON-RAMP' Program
UTICA, NY (WUTR/WFXV/WPNY) — Governor Kathy Hochul announced on Thursday that Mohawk Valley Community College — along with two others — will become part of a program to bolster manufacturing in New York State. The governor announced on Thursday that three places were selected for the ON-RAMP (One Network for Regional Advanced Manufacturing Partnerships), which included the redevelopment of MVCC's soon-to-be vacant Science and Technology Center. The $200 million program was proposed in Governor Hochul's State of the State Address last year. Each program — one at the former College of Saint Rose, one at Monroe Community College near Rochester, and MVCC — will receive up to $300,000 in planning grants to help establish the centers. 'Too many communities in Upstate New York have been left out and left behind for generations – and I'm fighting to bring them back,' Governor Hochul said in a statement. 'These new ON-RAMP centers will be critical parts of the new I-90 advanced manufacturing corridor, giving New Yorkers the skills and training necessary for a good-paying job. New Yorkers are already seeing the benefits of our economic development strategy: good-paying jobs, revitalized communities and more money in their pockets.' MVCC's center is anticipated to offer training for in-demand skills on low-cost, no-cost and work-and-learn models. The center is also scheduled to house MVCC's Fast-Track Program, as well as the Manufacturer's Association of Central New York's (MACNY) 'Real-Life Rosies' program. With the move to the center, both programs can now recruit additional candidates to their program. 'We are so grateful to the Governor and her staff for this incredible opportunity to work even more closely with our workforce partners in the region to significantly scale opportunities that connect people to quality jobs and enhance the overall vibrancy of the communities we serve,' MVCC President Dr. Randall Van Wagoner said in a statement.
