US cable company Liberty Global has appointed a new managing director, Lutz Schuler, for its German cable subsidiary Unitymedia.
He will report to Diederik Karsten, managing director, European Broadband Operations.
Schuler will replace Gene Musselman as of 1 January 2011, who has been serving as CEO since 2010. Musselman is also stepping down from his role as president and COO of Liberty Global’s UPC Broadband division at the end of this year.
However, he will remain as a special adviser to Liberty Global CEO Mike Fries.
Schuler has served in several senior management roles with the Telefónica O2 group since 1998, and led the integration of HanseNet as its CEO in Hamburg when it was acquired by Telefonica O2 in early 2010.
