About Viatel Group

Viatel is a pan-European telecommunications service provider, with a wholly-owned backbone network running through the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland. In 2003 Lucy Woods (former CEO of WorldCom EMEA), was hired to build a new management team and establish the company as a leading European player.

Under Lucy’s leadership, Viatel re-created the group strategy and has in a first phase (2003-2006) successfully leveraged its core IP networking capabilities to offer a leading edge internet service portfolio to retail customers both directly and through channel partners.

In the second phase of the group strategy (starting 2007) Viatel started to exploit its next generation optical networking capabilities to leverage the $2.5bn+ pan European network infrastructure.
