GCI welcomes Troy Goldie as company’s first Chief Technology Officer
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – GCI, Alaska’s largest communications provider, today announced the hiring of Troy Goldie as the company’s first Chief Technology Officer (CTO). With more than 30 years of experience in the communications industry, Goldie most recently served as Senior Vice President, Operations – Mass Markets at Lumen Technologies.
GCI launched a transformational initiative more than a year ago to integrate critical functions – including technology strategy, product, planning and engineering, construction and project management, operations, application technology, and data and analytics – into an organization purpose built to report to a CTO. The new organization, which was launched in October 2024, will further the company’s continuing efforts to modernize its network and systems, provide innovative services to Alaskans throughout the state, and enhance the company’s overall effectiveness and efficiency.
“Troy brings decades of experience in leading large communications organizations to the GCI team,” said GCI President and Chief Operating Officer, Greg Chapados. “His wide-ranging expertise and dedication to transforming organizations through leadership development, process definition, and system integration make him the right person to lead the new CTO organization. We are excited to welcome Troy and his family to Alaska.”
“It’s an honor to serve as GCI’s first Chief Technology Officer and to lead this talented and dedicated team,” said Goldie. “GCI has a rich history of making a big impact in Alaska and successfully tackling many complex and important projects to bridge the digital divide. I look forward to helping GCI navigate and strengthen this new structure. This will allow us to better focus on our core mission of delivering connectivity to our customers and building and maintaining Alaska’s most advanced network.”
