Brendan Fitzgerald

As a NE Division Manager in the engineering and TPO department, I am responsible for coordinating all engineering departments for division/company-wide initiatives. I am the point person for strategy and rollout of programs such as FDX, RFOG>EPON, and Genesis. Leveraging my technical and leadership background, I bring stakeholders together, communicate goals and targets, gain buy-in and perspective from leaders, and bridge the gap between division, region, and headquarters.

Working out of the WNER region of NED, I spent 9 years leading the construction department for both BAU, NGAN initiatives, and EdgeOut. Often partnering with leadership, I assisted in identifying new build opportunities for growth. I would provide analysis such as CPG agreements, competitor over-builders, architecture type, and cost of construction.
I would provide forecasts, and had direct relationships with BP’s to project manage quality, timing and delivery, and budgeting. In addition to growth, other rollouts I lead for construction included fiber optic deployment of CRAN rings, RFOG rollouts, DMA alignments, and strategy and execution of infrastructure merges during small CATV company acquisitions. CBH and Metro-E network construction and design were also day-to-day BAU workstreams for me.
