TORONTO, April 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ting Internet, a division of Tucows (NASDAQ: TCX, TSX: TC) and provider of fiber Internet, is excited to open a new chapter today as Neil Shah joins the company as VP of Product. In this role, Shah will own the Ting Internet and TV product vision and roadmap, leading a world-class team charged with balancing customer needs and business impact.

Shah brings more than 15 years of experience running multi-billion dollar product and design P&L and leading the way on TV product. He will head a team dedicated to providing access to the open Internet, better Internet infrastructure to keep communities connected, and innovative TV products that honor the new cord-cutting reality.

Shah joins Ting from his previous role as Head of Design at Verizon, where he created the Design and User Experience practice to drive business transformation within the $14B Verizon Consumer Markets business unit. Prior, he architected the design and communications systems of the Venmo product and brand, helping to navigate it through a $1B acquisition by PayPal.

He holds multiple patents in AI-driven interfaces, is the co-founder of critically acclaimed creative lab Wildlife Control, and a Grammy-nominated music producer.
