Industry veteran with experience at CenturyLink, NTELOS and Sprint

South Boston, VA.,October 12, 2015 — Mid-Atlantic Broadband Communities (MBC) announced that David Keller has joined the executive team as vice president of sales and business development.  Keller is a telecommunications industry veteran with more than 28 years in leadership positions at Sprint, AEP Communications, NTELOS, CenturyLink, and ValleyNet.  With a history of developing strategic relationships to provide broadband in underserved markets, Keller has worked in sales, marketing, and operations departments supporting business and residential customers in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions.

”I am pleased to welcome Dave as MBC’s new vice president,” said Tad Deriso, CEO at MBC.  “Dave understands the changing industry, and I look forward to his leadership and vision to grow MBC and develop more broadband services to help bridge the digital divide in our core market areas.
