TAMPA, Fla. -- Custom Cable Industries has selected Thomas P. Ward as its new president. The company was recently reorganized following its voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to reorganize and implement a balance sheet restructuring.
“The resultant asset purchase has set the stage for Custom Cable’s future growth and Tom is the right person to lead that,” said Gregg Stewart, who served as general manager and chief restructuring officer in the predecessor company.

Stewart added, “I am pleased to hand the reins to Tom and am confident that his track record of global strategic growth in the technology and telecommunications industries is the perfect match for Custom Cable’s market potential.”
In a press statement, Custom Cable said that, with relevant experience in domestic and international divisions of Fortune 100/1000 companies and proven success in sales, marketing, business operations, finance, manufacturing and supply chain, Ward has driven the company's growth and delivered stakeholder value at global organizations including AT&T, Lucent and CommScope.
Tom Ward graduated from Central Michigan University with a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Technology and Journalism and earned an MBA specializing in Finance and Enterprise Globalization from Florida Atlantic University. As a volunteer, he has co-chaired the finance committee of the Miami-Dade Broadband Coalition, a not-for-profit organization that provides broadband access and digital literacy to underserved communities in South Florida.
“I am extremely pleased to be joining Custom Cable at this point in the company’s growth,” commented Ward. “We are grateful to the customers, employees and suppliers who have supported the company during the past year and look forward to exceeding expectations as we articulate and execute on our vision.”
