Network Wireless Solutions, LLC (NWS), a solutions and logistics provider to carriers and telecommunications contractors based in Durham, N.C., has this month announced several advancements within its senior team, including the creation of two new executive positions intended to accelerate the company's growth and increase the scale of its operations.
Per a press release, the new appointments are as follows:
- Bill Elkin will take on the newly created role of chief operating officer (COO) from his former position as NWS' chief financial officer (CFO). In this new position, Elkin is responsible for driving operational efficiency across the business, including exploring opportunities for increased scale and efficiency presented by new NWS partnerships with Gap Wireless and JF TECH, acquired earlier this year. Elkin brings more than 23 years of experience as a senior financial and operations executive in the domestic and international manufacturing, distribution, and logistics industries.
- Sam Clark, NWS vice president of sales, will take on the newly created role of chief revenue officer (CRO). Clark will be responsible for driving profitable, margin-rich revenue and scalable, repeatable sales across NWS' Custom Cabling and Materials Distribution Kitting & Logistics businesses. He will also explore new product development strategies, fostering and expanding NWS' customer relationships based in the U.S. This role will report to John Hamilton, president of NWS.
- Adrian Alday has joined NWS as CFO from Vanguard Companies, where he served as CFO and before that served a similar role at InterFlex. Alday's background in financial planning and analysis, financial reporting and driving lean six sigma methodologies, among other areas, brings significant benefit to NWS' business.
NWS chief executive officer Xavier Williams commented, "Continually optimizing NWS' operations enables our efforts to serve customers in the wireless and broadband industries to the best of our abilities. We are proud of the successes we have had to date, and we look forward to even further growth led by this talented team."
In 2021, NWS became a portfolio company of Grain Management, LLC, a Washington, D.C.-based investment firm focused on the global communications sector.
