Years in Industry: 26
Education: BS – Electrical Engineering Technology – Northeastern University, MBA – Clark University
Ross has kept Armstrong in construction mode, with the company extending plant to more than 5000 new homes in its footprint last year. 2019 also saw continued buildout to rural areas as part of the New York Broadband Project and the launch of Zoom Powered by Plume, a new smart home services bundle. All that work paid off with Armstrong growing revenue 3% year-over-year. A big 2020 project internally for Ross is employee engagement, with he and his team addressing feedback from the first all-employee engagement survey. And construction will continue as Armstrong works on edge-outs and upgrading existing customers to FTTH and DOCSIS 3.1.
