BT Group plc ( ($GB:BT.A) ) has provided an update.

BT Group has announced a leadership reshuffle across its Openreach and International units, with current Openreach Deputy CEO Katie Milligan set to become CEO of Openreach on 1 April 2026 and current Openreach chief Clive Selley moving to lead BT International. The changes follow the departure of Bas Burger after 18 years at the company and are framed by BT’s management as a way to maintain Openreach’s commercial momentum in the UK while accelerating BT International’s evolution into a next‑generation global telecoms platform.

Milligan, a long-serving BT executive credited with driving Openreach’s return to revenue and EBITDA growth and reshaping its commercial strategy, will oversee the network arm that underpins the UK’s full‑fibre rollout. Selley, whose tenure at Openreach has seen one of Europe’s fastest fibre upgrades and the build‑out of infrastructure reaching more than 21 million premises, is expected to leverage his engineering and large‑scale infrastructure experience to scale BT’s international platform business and support customers’ digital transitions outside the UK.

The most recent analyst rating on ($GB:BT.A) stock is a Hold with a £223.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on BT Group plc stock, see the GB:BT.A Stock Forecast page.
