Bird to grow NBN and MVNO business for Optus 

Optus has poached Telstra's retail executive Stuart Bird to front its wholesale and satellite division.

Bird has held various roles at Telstra over the past eight years, spanning mobile, fixed and more recently home and business products, including NBN sales and bundling.

He is also a former head of marketing at Vodafone Australia.

Optus chief Allan Lew said in a statement that Bird’s focus would initially be spent “expanding Optus’ wholesale NBN offering, delivering a competitive suite of mobile products and services for our wholesale partners, and expanding our satellite customer base across Australasia”.
