Evansville-based fiber optic company Metronet named a new CEO, chief financial officer and other roles to its leadership team Thursday.
Starting Oct. 1, Dave Heimbach, who is the current president and chief operating officer, will become CEO and retain his duties as president. Executive Vice President Sarah Overbaugh will be CFO.
Heimbach joined the company in 2021 but has been in the industry for over 25 years, including as COO of Shentel Telecommunications Co. in Virginia.
John Cinelli, who has steered the company as CEO, will transition to executive chairman. Additionally, current Lohn Weber, who is the company’s first CFO, will fill the newly created role of executive vice president — capital markets.
“These new executive appointments reflect Metronet’s commitment to continuity in leadership and are a reflection of the remarkable achievements, future potential, and outstanding growth prospects of the company,” Cinelli said in a news release. “These newly appointed leaders are set to take us to new heights in the fiber industry, attract top-tier talent, and accelerate our already incredible growth.”
Metronet said the company had grown under Cinelli’s leadership to serve over 400,000 end users in 16 states.
