Earlier this month, Colt tapped Carl Grivner as its newest Chief Executive Officer (CEO), whose tenure will take effect only at the start of the New Year on January 1, 2016. Mr. Grivner had originally joined Colt back in May 2015 and currently serves as its Executive Vice President of Network Services. His ascension was necessitated by the recent announcement of Colt’s CEO, Rakesh Bhasin, that he would be relinquishing the role after nine years as of December 31, 2015
