The chief executive in charge of BT's 21st century network (21CN) has decided to call it a day after only six months.

Andy Green took responsibility for 21CN when the has made chief executive of group strategy and operations after a reshuffle in April, and is the second senior 21CN manager to resign.
In June Paul Reynolds who was chief executive of BT's wholesale also decided to leave the company, but BT was quick to respond saying that there was no connection between the moves and that it wasn't related to 21CN  "Andy's departure is in no way related to 21CN," "Andy felt he had completed the tasks put in front of him and the opportunity was too good to turn down."

Green will not be replaced with his job being divided between two of his staff, the 21CN programme will now be fronted by Al-Noor Ramji, chief executive of BT Design, and Roel Louwhoff, chief executive of BT Operate, who will report directly to group chief executive Ben Verwaayen.
