His deep experience and proven expertise in high-performing network solutions make him an outstanding addition and a great complement to the AireSpring solutions engineering team. We look forward to his contributions to the future success of our partners and their customers.”

Frederick previously was a sales engineer at Windstream Enterprise and was with the company for more than 18 years. During his tenure, he achieved President’s Club status and helped to close many of its largest multi-location customer accounts.

Frederick transitioned from an early career on Wall Street to become a technical recruiter and contracts manager for Aerotek, later renamed TEKSystems, which led him to work with Teleport Communication Group (TCG) during the time it was acquired by AT&T. He went on to work with AT&T as an account executive before joining Windstream.

Frederick brings an extensive background in designing, building and implementing network solutions, with expertise in SD-WAN, MPLS, UCaaS, hosted VoIP and managed services. He also has helped many channel partners build multi-million dollar businesses from the ground up.
