– Deep Industry Experience: I’ve held senior roles at top telecom companies, including Google Fiber, Ting Fiber, and Charter Communications, where I led large-scale fiber deployment and infrastructure projects. My extensive and diverse expertise in engineering, BSP market launches, and fiber optic deployment methods would bring a wealth of knowledge to the board. In turn, I am eager to pass on this knowledge to be utilized constructively and for the greater good of the fiber industry.

– Proven Leadership and Vision: As a visionary leader, I have successfully spearheaded teams in planning, engineering, design, and construction across nationwide. My ability to create strategic paths for market expansion, M&A, and technology integration enables me to provide high-level guidance and direction to the Fiber Broadband Association.

– Innovator with Patents: I hold two U.S. patents for fiber optic deployment methods, underscoring my ability to drive innovation within the industry and specifically in the area in need of the most help today – deployment. This expertise in advancing fiber technologies aligns well with the Fiber Broadband Association’s mission of promoting high-quality fiber broadband solutions.

– Strong Industry Relationships: Throughout my career, I’ve cultivated strong relationships with material and construction vendors, city officials, and strategic consultants in the telecom industry. My ability to negotiate and form partnerships with key stakeholders would be valuable in expanding the association’s influence and collaboration efforts.

– Consultative Expertise: My consulting experience with FTTH startups and acquisition-focused companies gives me a unique perspective, as I understand both the technical and financial aspects of fiber broadband growth. Assisting companies in crafting deployment plans and managing complex projects has equipped me to help shape industry standards and policies at the Fiber Broadband Association.

– Industry Board & Committee Experience: I currently serve on multiple committees within the Fiber Broadband Association, giving me a solid understanding of the organization’s goals and challenges. This involvement allows for a seamless transition into a leadership role on the board. I have also served on other leading industry boards.

With my combination of technical expertise, leadership experience, industry relationships, and commitment to innovation, I am well-positioned to bring valuable insights and drive to the Fiber Broadband Association Board of Directors.

I presented a webinar this year, “The Pros and Cons of Network Architecture”. This webinar is ranked in the Top 10 for registrations and attendance, with an above average survey rating.

I also lead efforts in product innovation, collaborating across departments to align product offerings with market demands and technological advancements. Communication strategies are central to my approach, as I ensure clear, impactful messaging to stakeholders, clients, and internal teams.

Building partnerships is another key responsibility, and I actively engage with industry leaders, vendors, and fiber infrastructure builders to form alliances that support fiber expansion and operational goals. I also collaborate with private equity firms and TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecommunications) consulting firms to leverage their insights and resources, driving both organic and acquisition-based growth. In addition, I play a key role in identifying and assessing acquisition opportunities that align with our strategic vision, adding value to the organization and positioning us as a leader in the fiber industry.
