With a history of success in wireless technology markets, public-safety organizations and emerging growth companies, Kennedy brings unique expertise to the Assured Wireless board.
Prior to Qumu, Kennedy was a co-founder of The Public Safety Network, a strategic advisory firm specializing in public safety, and most recently CEO of Allerio, a wireless connectivity platform. Previously, he served as president of FirstNet, an independent government authority charged with creating the first ever financially self-sustaining broadband nationwide network for public safety. He led FirstNet from a start up inside the U.S. government to become a $40 billion public-private partnership (PPP) that is governing a mission-critical LTE network in all 50 U.S. states, five territories and the District of Columbia.
Earlier in his career, Kennedy served as a firefighter, state trooper and flight paramedic in the state of Utah. He received a bachelor’s of science degree from the University of Utah and a master’s in business administration from Johns Hopkins University.
Kennedy replaces Steven A. Morley, company co-founder, past president and a founding board member who retired from the board.
"We are delighted to welcome TJ to our board,” said Thomas Bilotta, Assured Wireless Chairman. “He brings decades of experience in the wireless and public-safety field and joins Assured Wireless at a particularly dynamic and exciting time as we continue to launch our product and develop our future road map. At the same time, we want to thank Steve for his years of strategic development and wish him well in his future endeavors.”
