Kilpatrick succeeds Paul Quick, newly appointed Senior Vice
President and General Manager of the company’s Connecticut
operations. Quick’s appointment is part of Frontier’s definitive
agreement with AT&T, Inc., announced December 17, 2013, to
acquire AT&T's wireline business and statewide fiber network
that provides services to residential, commercial and wholesale
customers in Connecticut. Frontier will also acquire AT&T's
U-verse video and satellite TV customers in Connecticut. Upon
approval of the transaction by the Connecticut Public Utility
Regulatory Authority and the Federal Communications Commission,
Connecticut will join New York and Pennsylvania as part of the
company’s New Haven, Connecticut-based East Region. At the close of
the transaction with AT&T, Connecticut will be the largest of
Frontier’s 28 operating states.
“Elena is a proven leader who has achieved outstanding results
in some of Frontier’s most competitive markets,” said Dan McCarthy,
President and Chief Operating Officer of Frontier. “She has strong
experience in all aspects of our business, including sales and
marketing, call center management, engineering and operations.
Elena has forged new business and community relationships, engaged
employees and ensured unparalleled customer service. Her knowledge
and experience with Frontier’s Pennsylvania markets, customers and
employees will be an asset as she assumes leadership for overall
operations and sales throughout the state.”
Most recently Kilpatrick was responsible for Frontier's
Pennsylvania Northeast Region, where she had oversight for the
markets of Montrose, Tunkhannock, Clarks Summit, Conyngham, Bangor
and Pocono. She also managed Frontier’s highly competitive markets
of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/Hazleton, Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton,
Harrisburg and Lancaster/York/Reading, where some of the company’s
largest enterprise customers are located. Her tenure with Frontier
also includes serving as General Manager of the company’s Northern
Tier operations in Pennsylvania.
Kilpatrick was previously employed by the predecessor company
