Fortress Solutions has announced the appointment of Scott Mair to its board of directors. Plano-based Fortress Solutions is a global provider of critical infrastructure management and support services for various sectors, including telecommunications, electronic vehicle charging stations, and IoT devices.
“We are excited to welcome Scott to the Fortress board,” says John Shelnutt, CEO of Fortress Solutions. “Scott’s expansive experience and deep industry knowledge will be a critical asset for Fortress. His unparalleled understanding and insight into 5G mobile networks, networking operations, and telecom engineering will provide our teams with invaluable wisdom that will allow us to not only grow our current business but expand to meet our company goals”.
Mair, who was the president of AT&T networks engineering and operations for 37 years, was responsible for launching the initial standards-based mobile 5G network, running AT&T’s next-generation wireless networks, as well as launching the initial secure communications platform used nationwide for US public safety workers, including police, firefighters and first responders.
Mair states: “The telecom industry is in an age of flux as more and more companies embrace the inevitable digital era. Fortress is at the forefront of these changes. Their services not only allow companies to deploy new digital services faster, they also provide critical infrastructure support to ensure their legacy platforms remain ready and available at all times. I am excited to begin a new journey with their team as a member of their board.”
