In her new role as Vice President of Supplier Management, Atwood  sets the strategy for engaging with PlanetOne’s 300-plus carriers, service providers and equipment suppliers and has her fingers on the pulse of PlanetOne’s MDF playbook and incentives.

She also is responsible for running PlanetOne’s Preferred Provider Program, which grew by 30 percent last year.
