AT&T Business has named longtime employee Anne Chow as its new CEO, making her the first woman to hold that position, reports ABC News.

“This is an exciting time at AT&T, and in AT&T Business, as we have a unique opportunity to provide our customers with the innovative solutions they need to better run their businesses and serve their customers,” said Chow to ABC News.

Chow, who becomes the higest-ranking Asian American in AT&T, replaces Thaddeus Arroyo, who will become the CEO of AT&T’s consumer business.

“In her nearly 30 years in the industry, she strove to ‘break the bamboo ceiling’ by succeeding in non-traditional roles that spanned direct and indirect sales, to operations, to P&L management,” AT&T Business said in a statement. “She created one of AT&T’s fastest growing Employee Networks — AT&T Women of Business — which has 4,800 members across 27 countries.”

Chow received a Stevie Award for Female Executive of the Year in 2018. She most recently served as the company’s president of national business, according to Fierce Wireless.

Chow, 
a resident of the Dallas/Fort Worth area, took to Twitter on Wednesday to thank some of her well-wishers. 

 “With breakthrough technologies like 5G, businesses around the world will be poised to transform and disrupt their own industries. I look forward to this journey with an incredible team of women and men,” said Chow.
