How are we doing?

So I'm thinking...

Looking back…and forward

Hey there,

Over the last 18 months the WIND team has accomplished the unbelievable by building a new national wireless company from the ground up. To do that, we assembled a killer team of experts across the business, built an open, authentic sales & care organization, an amazing online presence, created great advertising, and developed world-class propositions and services based on conversations with our customers. In addition, the network team delivered one of the fastest rollouts of a wireless network in the world, and our IT team has built integrated systems and technology to enable a great customer experience. Finally, our HR team has worked hard to find, hire and train an amazing group of people starting with our first employee to the team of 800 we have today.

While building the company has been a great adventure so far, there is still much to do. So, what’s next? We’re continuing to learn, grow and expand our coverage and services. All good. And as we move into a very ambitious growth mode, we’re making some other shifts internally. Those shifts, combined with my desire to develop wireless & technology opportunities globally, mean that I’m leaving WIND.

I’d like to thank all of the community and customers who have participated in building WIND over the last year – this is truly an amazing and unique experience for wireless and Canada. Very cool!

And I’d especially like to thank the amazing WIND team for all that you’ve done and will continue to do to build a truly different mobile provider in Canada. I’ll enjoy watching your continued progress for years to come.

I’ve always been big on quotes, so I thought a quote from one of my favorite movies may be appropriate:

“…and if I don’t see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night”
– Truman Burbank.

Thank you for the conversation,

Chris

    Hey Chris, it's sad to see you go, but I wish you the best of luck and I hope you find an even better job somewhere else. Maybe even at one of the competitors? :)

    This is a big loss for WIND.. I think it would be tough for WIND to find somebody who is able to interact with customers as well as you are.

    ..I also wanted to say that Wind is loosing a good guy here. I hope you stick around to help the wireless industry in Canada. We need a guy like you here to "shake things up".

    I`m really sad to hear you go.
    You were the reason I was so excited about WIND because it even launched.
    After having to finally seeing you in person - the enthusiasm that you continued to carry with you, I became more excited to be joining the team.

    The best of luck to you Mr. Chris.

    YOU ROCK!

    I can't say I like the sound of this as a potential customer. Chris has been vital in this online community and a trusted voice. With no one taking his place here I fear that this community will be more of a complaint drop box where we all wonder if any real person is on the other end reading this stuff. I suggest giving a real explanation because this just seems weird and you should have had someone else building up the same trust he has over the past several months so transition would have been seamless. Now you have a void and it seems like there is much more to this story than we are getting in a negative sense.

    Hi cosmopoasis: Chris made a lot of really important contributions to WIND, and we'll miss him, too!

    Here at WIND, we still have a dedicated team that's listening to our community, and we'll continue to have a conversation with you on the site, on facebook, on twitter-- and whatever else comes along...

    Regards,
    Aileen, Community Manager
