CEO
Fries had a rough time in 2022 on Wall Street, where the telco giant’s stock share price dipped from $28.99 in February to $15.59 in October. But he struck an optimistic note in the company’s Q3 2022 earnings report, boasting of aggregate broadband and mobile subscriber increases and its ability to provide affordable services to customers, while offsetting high energy and labor costs with higher prices, increasing synergies and expanded digital initiatives.

The son of the late film and TV producer Charles Fries, he serves alongside Liberty Global chairman John C. Malone on the company’s two-person executive committee.
