Former Frontier Communications CFO Perley McBride has stepped into the chief financial role at Cox Communications.

McBride, who spent a decade at Frontier, announced in June that he would resign, citing personal reasons.

He has more than 20 years of industry experience in financial roles, including his time at Cable & Wireless Communications as CFO. McBride also held executive roles at Leap Wireless, where he led the company through its acquisition by AT&T.

McBride will report to Cox president Pat Esser.

“Perley brings a wealth of industry expertise, and I look forward to his weighing in on all aspects of our business as we ignite new areas of growth that leverage our core capabilities,” Esser said in a statement. “He has a proven track record of helping companies achieve sustained growth in complex and competitive marketplaces that will be invaluable to us.”
