Kim Fuller Named Vice President of Operations to Oversee MRR-driven Technology Services and High Wire’s 15,000 Global Professionals

BATAVIA, Ill., Nov. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- High Wire Networks Inc. (the “Company” or “High Wire”) (OTCQB: SGSI), a leading global technology systems integrator and managed cybersecurity solutions provider, has named IT channel operations veteran Kim Fuller as Vice President of Operations, overseeing the operation of High Wire’s monthly recurring revenue (MRR) technology services business and the company’s 15,000 global technology professionals.

Fuller joins High Wire after 19 years as Vice President of Operations/Vendor Management for Carousel Industries Inc., a top IT managed service provider (MSP) that was acquired in May 2021 by NWN Corporation. When Carousel Industries grew revenue 45 percent year-over-year for a decade, she structured the teams to meet those demands of growth and scale. Fuller built the vendor management program, saving the company more than $1.5 million year-over-year by negotiating deals with suppliers.

“Kim’s track record in the telecom and technology industries speaks for itself,” said High Wire CEO Mark Porter. “Her can-do attitude is the reason why she played an instrumental role in her previous company’s hypergrowth. We’re eager to tap into Kim’s energy and experience to accelerate growth for High Wire.”

In previous role, Fuller worked with the project management organization (PMO) from start to closure, managing scheduling, cash flow and forecasting. She also managed field technicians, dispatchers and network operation center (NOC) engineers who delivered unified communications, data, software specialists and staging for the enterprise.

“I’m excited to work with High Wire’s technology partners to elevate their service delivery,” said Fuller. “I have seen first-hand how High Wire allows partners to extend their reach nationally and internationally while removing the complexity from service delivery, regardless of size or scope of the technology deployment.”
