Feb 10 (Reuters) - BT on Tuesday named Katie

Milligan as the next leader of its Openreach business,

succeeding her current boss ‌Clive Selley, who has overseen a

decade of record investment ​in building Britain's largest

broadband network.

Selley will lead ‍the group's global business, BT

International, ⁠taking over ⁠from Bas Burger in the shake-up

announced by group CEO ‌Allison Kirkby on Tuesday.

Since ​2017, Selley has led Openreach's fibre network

programme, which now stretches to ⁠22 million premises and ‍is

expanding ​at the rate of 1 million a quarter, putting it on

track to reach its ‍25 million target by the end of the year.

Milligan, who joined BT in 2004, has led Openreach's

commercial strategy focused on encouraging customers of BT and

those of ​broadband ‍providers such as Sky and Vodafone ( VOD ) to

move to faster and more reliable ​fibre connections.

She said that, with the network build nearing completion,

there would be a move towards focusing on connecting customers.

"We've got a tried and tested strategy within Openreach, so

it's not going ​to be revolutionary, but you will see slight

changes," she said.
