ALLO Fiber announced Monday that Shane West will become the company’s next Chief Executive Officer beginning June 1.
West succeeds ALLO founder Brad Moline, who will transition into a new role as Founder and President – Leased Networks. Moline will continue serving on the company’s Board of Directors while focusing on growth opportunities through leased-network initiatives.
West most recently served as Chief Operating Officer at TDS Telecommunications, where he oversaw operations for a telecommunications business serving more than 1.9 million addresses.
“I’ve long admired ALLO’s mission and the culture the team has built. I’m honored to step into this role at such an important point in the Company’s growth,” West said. “I look forward to working alongside this impressive team to build on that momentum as we continue expanding the network, deepening our presence in existing markets, and raising the bar for customer experience.”
Moline, who founded ALLO 23 years ago, said the transition marks a new chapter for the company as it continues to grow.
“It has been incredibly rewarding to build ALLO from the ground up over the past 23 years and lead the Company’s growth transformation,” Moline said. “I’m deeply proud of the team and the culture we’ve built together, and of the impact we’ve made in the communities we serve.”
He added that he is confident the company “will benefit from Shane’s leadership as CEO” and said he looks forward to continuing to support ALLO’s future growth.
Clinton Karcher, Partner at SDC Capital and a member of ALLO’s Board of Directors, thanked Moline for his leadership and praised the company’s growth across multiple states.
“Brad built ALLO into a trusted partner for more than 50 communities across Nebraska, Colorado, Arizona, and Missouri,” Karcher said. “We’re excited to support Shane in leading the Company to execute on the next chapter of growth.”
ALLO provides multi-gigabit internet and business services through fiber-optic networks in communities across Nebraska and several surrounding states.
