Spectrum has promoted NOEL DEMPSEY to regional VP of field operations for the company’s Northeast Region. He succeeds Terence Rafferty, who recently retired from Charter after a decades-long career with Charter and its predecessor companies. Dempsey previously served as area VP of field operations for Central New York, which stretches from Watertown to Binghamton and includes the Syracuse, Utica, and Corning markets. As regional VP, Dempsey will lead the field operations workforce. He also will oversee the completion of two multiyear broadband initiatives. Dempsey joined Charter because of the merger with TWC in 2016, after holding a series of progressively senior engineering leadership roles at TWC. Dempsey most recently served as group VP of network expansion and outside plant design. He began his career in the cable and broadband industry as a field technician with TWC in 1996, and through his field operations and engineering roles has been involved in numerous major product and network deployments. Dempsey holds three U.S. patents.
