Tucows Announces Leadership Succession Following Strong Q3 Results
TORONTO, Nov. 6, 2025 /CNW/ – Tucows Inc. (NASDAQ:TCX) (TSX:TC), a global internet services leader, today announced the appointment of long-time Tucows executive David Woroch as President and CEO, succeeding Elliot Noss.
After a remarkable 25-year tenure as President and Chief Executive Officer, Elliot Noss will be stepping down as CEO of Tucows Inc. and transitioning to a continuing role as a member of the Board of Directors and consultant to the Company’s Ting Internet business.
Elliot’s leadership over the past 25 years has been transformative. He guided Tucows from its origins as The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software—one of the internet’s first software download platforms—into a diversified technology company comprising Tucows Domains, Wavelo, and Ting Internet. Under his direction, Tucows became publicly listed on both the Nasdaq and Toronto Stock Exchange and was an inaugural member of the TSX 30. A steadfast advocate for an open and accessible internet, Elliot championed the rights of internet users long before digital equity became mainstream—principles that remain embedded in Tucows’ culture today. The Company extends its deep appreciation for his visionary leadership, long service, and enduring impact on Tucows. On behalf of the Board, Chair Laurenz Nienaber expressed gratitude for Elliot’s entrepreneurial drive and human touch that has shaped Tucows and its people for more than two decades.
The Board has appointed David Woroch, a 25-year Tucows veteran and current CEO of Tucows Domains, as President and Chief Executive Officer of Tucows Inc. David has been a leader at the company’s flagship business, Tucows Domains, since its inception, scaling it into the world’s largest wholesale domain registrar and a cornerstone of Tucows’ recurring-revenue model.
“Over his many years with Tucows, Dave has shown a rare balance of strategy and execution,” said Laurenz Nienaber, Chair of the Tucows Board of Directors. “He has a comprehensive background in technology and its economics—how products, customer experience, and automation can work together to improve scalability, differentiation, and margins. Dave approaches innovation with practicality, encouraging new ideas while maintaining a disciplined focus on efficiency and reliable delivery.”
Under his leadership, Tucows Domains has become recognized globally for both reliability and innovation, setting industry standards for customer service and reseller enablement. David has also proven his ability to lead high-performing teams and manage complex integrations, having successfully executed numerous high-value acquisitions—including Enom, EPAG, the International division of Melbourne IT, Ascio Technologies, and UNR Registry Services.
