Segra, one of the nation’s largest independent fiber network companies, today announced the appointment of Chad Senglaub as its new chief executive officer. Senglaub, who has served as the company’s chief operating officer, will succeed Kevin Anderson after more than 25 years of leadership at Cox Communications-owned Segra and Unite Private Networks (UPN), which merged in 2023.

Senglaub joined UPN in 2013, holding multiple executive leadership roles, including president and chief operating officer. As Segra’s COO, Senglaub has been instrumental in driving scalable growth by leading critical initiatives, championing collaboration across teams and optimizing complex processes and systems. Prior to Segra, Senglaub served in leadership positions at tw telecom, Global Crossing and Frontier Communications.

“I am honored to step into the role of CEO and build upon the extraordinary momentum Segra has achieved,” said Senglaub. “With our strong foundation, talented team and relentless dedication to innovation, we are well-positioned for continued growth. I look forward to driving further success and delivering even greater value to our customers, employees and stakeholders.”

“Chad is an exceptional leader with a deep understanding of our business,” said Kevin Anderson, outgoing chief executive officer at Segra. “Chad has consistently shown a commitment to our people, our culture, our customers, and our long-term success. I trust that under his guidance, the company will continue to thrive, and our team will remain focused on achieving new heights together. I look forward to continuing to serve both Segra and Cox Communications as a strategic advisor.”

The appointment marks a strategic step forward as Segra sets its sights on expanding its portfolio of services and network reach.

“Chad brings a wealth of industry experience and a proven track record of leadership to this role,” said Jeff Breaux, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Cox Communications. “His strategic vision, passion for growth and ability to inspire teams will be pivotal in taking Segra to the next level of success.”
