Chief operating officer Neil Berkett will become acting chief executive "with responsibility for driving forward the company's strategy and operational development," the company said. The cable operator expects to begin a search for a permanent replacement "shortly."
Virgin Media chairman Jim Mooney said: "Steve has contributed significantly to the transformation of Virgin Media. Since he joined us, the company has emerged as the UK's only 'quad play' provider and a genuinely distinctive presence in the world of communications and entertainment. On behalf of Virgin Media's Board of Directors, I thank him for his contribution to our development and wish him every success for the future."
