Katherine Gessner

Gessner and the Massillon, Ohio, community go hand in hand. She’s led the company in the implementation of new strategic plans and processes to instill more efficiency within operations. That’s in addition to strategizing how MCTV can use AI and continuing her work on the company’s FTTH re-build and converting all customers so it can sunset its co-ax plant over the next few years.

Fast food guilty pleasure: Impossible Whoppers from Burger King. My husband and I don’t eat meat so it’s our go-to when we’re craving fast food. You really can’t tell the difference. Everyone should try it at least once!
