"As Teleglobe enjoys rapid global expansion, these new additions and changes to the executive team will help us to ensure that the same explosive growth continues," said Guidi. "Our senior team has the depth and experience we need, as we roll out new products and services to new customers and markets worldwide." Stephen Beebe has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer. Beebe comes to Teleglobe from Global One, where he served as Vice President. With over 15 years of experience in the international telecommunications industry in a variety of financial management positions, Beebe will manage the full spectrum of financial responsibilities to meet the organization's rapidly growing needs. Beebe replaces Michel Cayouette, who has been named to the newly created position of Vice President and General Manager of the Pacific Rim and Vice President, Business Strategy.

Jack Norris has been named Chief Network Officer, a newly created position. Mr. Norris, who was most recently Senior Vice President for Global Engineering at MCI, has more than 20 years experience in telecommunications. Norris will assume this senior leadership role in the strategic development and management of Teleglobe's global telecommunications network, the second largest intercontinental network worldwide and one of the company's strongest assets. He will oversee all Teleglobe network functions including planning, building and operations. As part of this effort to build and strengthen the network organization, Steve Heap has joined as Vice President, Global Network Planning and Engineering. Heap was formerly with Concert Communications, the joint venture between MCI and British Telecom, and has more than 20 years experience in telecommunications in the United Kingdom.
