Anterix Announces Executive Leadership Changes to Power Next Phase of Growth
New appointments further position Anterix to scale private broadband innovation for critical industries
WOODLAND PARK, NJ, September 18, 2025 — Anterix (NASDAQ: ATEX), the leading provider of private wireless broadband spectrum for utilities today announced changes in the executive leadership team that further position the company to deliver transformative connectivity solutions to utilities and a growing set of critical infrastructure sectors.
Anterix’s new senior leaders include Heather Martin as Chief Marketing Officer and Chief of Staff, and Elena Marquez as Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Tim Gray who is departing Anterix to pursue a new opportunity. These strategic changes reflect Anterix’s ongoing commitment to sharpen execution, deepen market engagement, and focus on scaling impact across the utility and other critical infrastructure sectors.
Heather Martin, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief of Staff
With over 20 years of global marketing and executive experience, Martin most recently held a senior leadership role at NRG Energy, where she led corporate marketing efforts for its portfolio of retail energy brands—driving strategy across North America, South Africa, and the Caribbean. Earlier in her career, Martin played a pivotal role in shaping brand strategy and integrated campaigns for Dell, Shell Energy, Microsoft, and General Motors through her work with national advertising agencies. At Anterix, Martin will lead the national marketing strategy, amplifying brand authority, driving customer-centric innovation, and expanding market reach.
Elena Marquez, Chief Financial Officer
A seasoned financial leader with a strong operational mindset, Marquez has held senior finance roles across public and pre-IPO multinational companies in the financial services and biotech industries including leading a four-year transformation initiative at Prudential Financial. For the past four years, Marquez has served as Vice President of Finance and Controller at Anterix. In her new role as CFO, she will oversee all financial functions, ensuring fiscal discipline and strategic alignment as the company scales its impact across critical infrastructure sectors.
“As I approach the end of my first year as CEO, our Accelerator initiative is unlocking significant opportunities, and FCC progress on the 5x5 NPRM brings us closer to recognizing the full value of 10 MHz of spectrum. I’m energized by the momentum we’ve built and the opportunities ahead for Anterix,” said Scott Lang, President and Chief Executive Officer of Anterix. “With these new leadership appointments, we mark a pivotal moment in our evolution. By adding and elevating exceptional leaders to our executive team, we are strengthening our foundation to innovate at scale and accelerate our mission to modernize the grid.” Lang continued, “On behalf of the Board of Directors and Anterix’s entire team, I would also like to thank Tim for his hard work and dedication to the Company. Over the past 11 years, he has been a trusted partner and a valued leader, and we wish him continued success in his next chapter.”
