FirstComm, which offers cloud and technology solutions, announced that Paul Van Hyfte is joining the team as CEO. Van Hyfte – alongside president and CFO Mark Sollenberger – will lead FirstComm in its transition to next-generation technology growth.
Mr. Van Hyfte brings 20 years of experience to the role, including leadership with high-growth cloud and managed services-based companies. He most recently served as president of US Signal, a cloud, fiber and co-location services provider that was acquired by a private equity firm.
“Paul brings to the table a wealth of experience in scaling businesses with a focus on revenue growth and product innovation,” said board member Joe Morris. “This hire is a natural next step for FirstComm, as we complete a long but successful decommissioning of our legacy network now focused on accelerating the growth of FirstComm’s digital next generation products.”
“I am honored and thrilled to lead FirstComm in this next phase of its evolution, operating from a position of financial strength to grow a business with a solid network, exceptional employee team and strong customer base,” said Van Hyfte. “FirstComm is uniquely positioned to build on its 25-year history of providing leading-edge technology solutions and first-in-class service to its large and loyal business customers. I look forward to working with the team to accelerate FirstComm’s momentum so we can serve even more customers in the future.”
