Michael Prior, Executive Chairman of ATN, expressed confidence in Khoury's capabilities, stating, “Naji brings deep industry expertise and a proven track record in leadership, strategy, and operational execution. We are pleased to welcome him to ATN – his extensive experience in the telecommunications industry and Caribbean markets positions us well for our next phase of growth and value creation.” Prior highlighted that Khoury’s strategic vision aligns with ATN’s recent network investments and the company’s goal of delivering long-term value to customers, employees, and stockholders.
