Another telecommunications veteran is joining Mariner Partners. Chris Keevill, who previously worked as CEO of the Atlantic Lottery Corporation, is Mariner’s new Chief Operating Officer.
Mariner is the 270-person firm founded by former NBTel CEO and Aliant Telecom President Gerry Pond and a cadre of his collaborators. It serves as the umbrella corporation for a basket of other businesses, including Shift Energy and East Valley Ventures. Keevill worked with Pond on innovation-based projects in the 1990s, when Pond was ascendant at NBTel.
“We're all connected,” said Keevill in an interview.
