Leanna Mack is a proven Arctic leader and strategic facilitator. Having Leanna at the helm of Quintillion’s outreach and engagement will undoubtedly enhance our efforts to connect more Alaskans to each other and the rest of the world—especially as we work to close the fiber ring around the state with our Nome to Homer Express route. Leanna’s work on a range of Arctic infrastructure projects will help advance the team’s mission to emphasize Alaska’s geostrategic importance in bolstering national security efforts.

I appreciate the Quintillion team’s dedication to developing critical infrastructure that will help bridge the digital divide. All Alaskans deserve access to affordable high-speed internet; it is essential for school, work, and health care—no matter where we live. I look forward to helping with this mission.
