energy industry initiatives to the Anterix Board
WOODLAND PARK, N.J.,
Jan. 3,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Anterix (NASDAQ: ATEX) announced
today that Thomas R. Kuhn has joined
the Anterix Board of Directors as its Vice Chairman after more than
thirty years as President and CEO of the Edison Electric Institute
("EEI"), the trade association representing U.S. investor-owned
electric utilities.
"Throughout Tom's tenure at EEI, he has exemplified visionary
leadership and has achieved countless public policy and operational
milestones for the utility industry," said Anterix Executive
Chairman Morgan O'Brien. "That Tom
chose to join Anterix's Board after leaving the helm of EEI is a
testament to the power of Anterix's mission to enable the evolution
of the grid and transform the communications capabilities of the
utility sector."
"We are thrilled to welcome Tom to our Board and to have him
join the industry-wide movement driving utility private broadband,
in support of a secure and resilient clean energy future," added
Anterix President & CEO Rob
Schwartz. "Tom's perspective and his legendary track record
as an energy statesman and a consensus-builder among energy
industry leaders and on Capitol Hill will be strategically valuable
to our partners and to Anterix."
"I am extremely excited to join Anterix as Vice Chairman. For
all the challenges and opportunities we are facing as a
sector—wildfires, decarbonization, distributed energy,
cybersecurity and much more—we need a collective industry
communications platform solution," said Kuhn. "The Anterix team and
their commitment to the utility sector gives us the path toward
that collective solution. With our first six customers in 15
states, a growing pipeline of utilities pursuing private wireless
broadband, and our 100+ vendor community, the benefits that we can
realize together across the sector through scale, scope, and mutual
assistance will be transformational."
Before joining EEI, Kuhn was president of the American Nuclear
Energy Council, and headed the energy section of the investment
banking firm, Alex Brown and Sons.
Prior to that, he was White House Liaison Officer to the Secretary
of the Navy.
Kuhn previously served on the Secretary of Energy's advisory
board and the board of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He also has
served on the boards of the Alliance to Save Energy, the United
States Energy Association, and the U.S. Navy Memorial Foundation.
He is Chairman Emeritus of the Committee of 100 of the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce, the American Society of Association Executives, and
the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Kuhn holds a Bachelor of Science degree in economics from
Yale University and served as a Naval
Officer following his graduation. He also earned a Master of
