On Tuesday, Boston-based communications REIT American Tower Corporation announced that Eugene Noel will be assuming the role of EVP and COO, a newly created global position. Effective January 13th, he will oversee the company’s worldwide operations and IT.
Noel has been with American Tower since 2011 when he joined as SVP of U.S. Tower Operations. He was later promoted to COO before being appointed as EVP and president of the U.S. Tower Division in 2023.
