JT strengthens leadership team with key Channel Islands appointments

JT has today announced the appointment of two senior leaders to its Channel Islands business, further strengthening its leadership team at a pivotal moment for the region’s digital future.

Clive Goodwin joins as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), while Ben Carter has been appointed Head of Enterprise. Together, they bring significant international experience and proven leadership across telecommunications, technology, and enterprise transformation.

These strategic appointments come as JT continues to invest in next-generation connectivity across the Channel Islands. Jersey now benefits from a full 5G standalone (5G SA) network, unlocking advanced capabilities for businesses and public services, while Guernsey’s rollout is underway and on track for completion before the end of the year.

Driving growth, innovation and customer value

Clive Goodwin brings a wealth of global commercial leadership experience, having held senior executive roles at Vodafone and BT. Most recently, he served as Senior Vice President at Vodafone, where he led commercial strategy and operations across a global portfolio.

A seasoned leader with deep expertise in strategic partnerships, digital transformation and operational performance, Clive has consistently delivered sustainable growth and value creation across complex organisations. His experience spanning telecoms, digital infrastructure and AI-led innovation positions him strongly to support JT’s evolving commercial strategy and deepen relationships with customers, partners and government stakeholders.

Ben Carter joins JT with over 20 years’ experience in enterprise technology and telecommunications, including senior roles at AT&T, Vodafone and most recently Specialist Computer Centre (SCC).

A highly accomplished enterprise sales leader, Ben has a strong track record of driving growth, transforming sales organisations and building strategic customer partnerships. He has successfully delivered large-scale commercial turnarounds and led high-performing teams across critical infrastructure sectors, helping organisations harness technologies such as 5G, cloud and IoT to achieve their goals.

Supporting the Channel Islands’ digital future

Together, Clive and Ben will play a key role in accelerating JT’s strategic priorities - enhancing customer experience, strengthening government engagement, and supporting the development of innovative, digitally-enabled solutions for businesses and communities across the islands.

Their combined expertise comes at a time of significant opportunity, as 5G standalone technology enables new user cases across industries - from smart infrastructure and digital healthcare to advanced enterprise services and AI-driven applications.

A pivotal moment for JT

Commenting on the appointments, Andy Green CBE, Chair of JT, said: “We are delighted to welcome Clive and Ben to JT at such an exciting time for our business and the Channel Islands.

Jersey’s full 5G standalone network and the ongoing roll-out in Guernsey mark a step change in connectivity, opening up new possibilities for our customers, our government partners, and the wider community.

Clive’s strategic and commercial leadership, combined with Ben’s strong enterprise expertise, will be instrumental in helping us realise this opportunity - strengthening our position as a trusted partner and driving innovation across the islands.”

Clive Goodwin added: “JT is uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of digital innovation in the Channel Islands. I’m excited to join at a time when advanced network capabilities are creating real opportunities to deliver value for customers and communities.”

Ben Carter added: “This is a hugely exciting moment to join JT. The combination of cutting-edge infrastructure and strong local partnerships provides a powerful platform to support enterprise customers in transforming their operations and unlocking new growth.”
