"Phil's knowledge and understanding of the commercial telecommunications industry is all-encompassing," said Rutledge. "With a proven track record of success, Phil's leadership will be instrumental to the continued growth of our enterprise business."
Meeks currently serves as EVP and COO for Business Services at TWC, supervising a business that handles more than 650,000 customers and accounting for annual revenue of more than $3 billion.
His appointment was among several hires announced by Charter.
The company also said it hired former Visible World executive David Kline as executive VP, president of ad sales. Kline will oversee all aspects of the MSO's advertising and media sales and also will report to Rutledge.
"David is an industry veteran with over 30 years of knowledge and experience in his field," Rutledge said, also in a statement. "David's strategic leadership will further elevate Charter's position as an innovator in the advanced TV advertising space."
