Englewood, NJ, September 20, 2019 --(PR.com)-- SQUAN, an industry leader specializing in telecommunications design/build services for network infrastructure, announced today the appointment of Carolyn Hardwick as its new National Director, business development. While her primary responsibility is to lead business development efforts in engineering, Hardwick will bring much more to SQUAN's growth and expansion as wireline, fiber and wireless carriers continue to converge and intensify pressure on operational excellence.

While Squanhas embraced diversity since its inception, the company will leverage Hardwick’s leadership status in the Women’s Wireless Leadership Forum (WWLF) to improve upon the organization’s efforts to encourage and support women’s ability to take on leadership roles at SQUAN and throughout the wireless/telecom industries.
Prior to joining SQUAN, Hardwick served as National Account Director at KGPCo, managing Multiple System Operators (MSOs) in the cable telecommunications sector.
She has held director level positions at both Bluestream Professional Services and SBA Communications Corporation managing client relations, contract negotiation, business strategy, marketing and identification of new revenue opportunities.
