We look forward to Tom joining the board as we continue to drive shareholder growth through innovation and customer centricity.”
Bartlett served as CEO and president of American Tower Corp., one of the largest global real estate investment trusts (REITs), from 2020 through 2024, and was previously chief financial officer of the company for 11 years. Before American Tower, Bartlett served in roles of increasing responsibility during a 25-year tenure with Verizon Communications, Inc, including president and CEO of Bell Atlantic International Wireless, CEO of Iusacell, a nationwide cellular company in Mexico, and CEO of Verizon’s Global Solutions Inc. He also served as controller and treasurer of Verizon Communications. Bartlett started his career as an analyst and certified public accountant with Deloitte LLP.
