Mediacom Communications today announced the appointment of Gavin Throckmorton as Group Vice President of Mobile Strategy, bringing more than two and a half decades of telecommunications experience to the company as it continues to develop and expand its mobile business.

Throckmorton is a highly experienced telecommunications executive whose career spans facilities-based mobile carriers and mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), with leadership experience in product management, business development, pricing and packaging, and operations.

“Gavin brings an exceptional depth of mobile experience and a proven track record of building and growing successful businesses,” said Toni Murphy, Executive Vice President of Operations at Mediacom. “His experience developing innovative mobile strategies and his firsthand knowledge of what it takes to build a mobile business at scale will be invaluable as we continue to expand our capabilities and deliver more value to our customers.”

Throckmorton began his telecommunications career in 2000 with Sprint Corporation in Overland Park, Kansas, where he participated in the company’s management development program and led product teams in both the consumer and business segments. He later led the product organization at MetroPCS in Richardson, Texas, during a period of rapid subscriber growth that culminated in the company’s acquisition by T-Mobile.

Throckmorton joined Charter Communications in 2015 as one of its first mobile product employees and as part of Charter’s mobile leadership team, Throckmorton helped build and grow Spectrum Mobile from its launch to more than 10 million subscriber lines, contributing to the development and execution of the company’s mobile strategy, products, and operations.

“I’m excited to join Mediacom and help shape the company’s mobile strategy and operations at an important time in its evolution,” said Throckmorton. “Mediacom has a strong network, a significant customer base and tremendous opportunities to expand the value it delivers through mobile. I look forward to working with the team to build a compelling mobile offering and create a seamless experience for Mediacom customers.”

In addition to his telecommunications experience, Throckmorton served as an officer in the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Stewart, Georgia. He holds an MBA from Cornell University.
