In the Wild West of the telecom business, speak boldly and wear a sharp pair of cowboy boots.
Just part of Ron Grason’s personal style. When he strides into a room – or anywhere – he’s usually following his instincts. That’s why we stick close behind him. It’s hard to match Ron’s creative energy and amazing ability to get things done.
Ron co-founded Nitel in 1997 after gaining industry experience with Verio and Worldcom, where he handled client accounts from small businesses through Fortune 500 corporations. He developed a focus on providing complete customer and channel solutions, from infrastructure to connectivity, that remain integral to Nitel’s services today. He continues to focus on industry trends and developments, keeping Nitel ahead of the curve in serving clients’ ever-changing needs. As COO, Ron directs our product development, pricing, procurement and vendor management functions, leads network acquisition opportunities and, together with CEO Rick Stern, holds executive-level accountability for new business development and corporate strategy.
Ron earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from Loyola University, where he graduated magna cum laude.
If you can keep up with Ron, you’ll be laughing. His sense of humor is infectious; his smile, contagious. Maybe this is how the West was won.
