Wecom Fiber appointed Kevin Stamey as its new Chief Operating Officer today. The telecommunications leadership team announced this major executive transition from Phoenix. Stamey will direct engineering, network construction, and infrastructure delivery. Additionally, he manages operational growth across eight Arizona counties. Broadband expansion remains the central driver for this strategic corporate movement.
Operational Leadership and Industry Expertise
Stamey brings decades of telecom experience to his new role. Previously, he served as Vice President of West Coast Operations at Astound. At Astound, he expanded field operations during periods of rapid enterprise growth. Furthermore, he secured major BEAD funding for large grant-funded network builds. This proven background directly strengthens his role as Chief Operating Officer.
Accelerating Broadband Infrastructure in Arizona
Wecom Fiber actively executes an aggressive fiber buildout program right now. Private capital fuels key network deployments in competitive urban markets. Target cities include Flagstaff, Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Cottonwood. Meanwhile, state grants support rural fiber network installations across remote regions. The enterprise relies on its Chief Operating Officer to guide field deployment teams.
The company secured nearly $196 million in state BEAD program grants. This award represents the largest broadband funding package in Arizona history. Consequently, high-speed fiber will connect 66,000 rural homes and regional businesses. Construction crews already deploy underground infrastructure across multiple active markets. As Chief Operating Officer, Stamey transforms these financial grants into operational results.
Executive leadership expressed strong confidence in Stamey’s proven operational strategy.
“Kevin is a proven operator who knows how to build fiber networks at scale and on standard,” said Rachel Solomon, Chief Executive Officer of Wecom Fiber. “As we accelerate one of the largest broadband buildouts in Arizona, his leadership across construction, engineering, and field operations will be central to delivering for the communities we serve.”
The new Chief Operating Officer shared his vision for the state buildout.
“Wecom Fiber is taking on one of the most important broadband builds in the state, and doing it with a genuine commitment to the communities it serves,” said Stamey. “I am excited to join the team and help deliver reliable, high-speed fiber to the homes and businesses that need it most.”
Network Expansion and Long-Term Vision
Wecom Fiber continues connecting underserved communities with modern digital infrastructure. Modern high-speed fiber networks boost economic growth across rural Arizona regions. Therefore, the company positions itself as a dominant regional internet provider. The Chief Operating Officer will ensure project deadlines match strict state standards. Field crews continue laying dark fiber cables throughout northern Arizona today. As Chief Operating Officer, Stamey oversees customer connections and network reliability.
