of the nation’s top public and private digital infrastructure
companies.”
VERTICOM is led by Jeff Lewis, its founder, President and

“This is a great opportunity to enhance our people platform,
elevate our strong brand and scale our technology to better serve

passionate leaders focused on maintaining a customer-first mindset,
best in class company culture, and superior service delivery model.

will take us from a Regional superpower, to nationwide deployment
teams and ultimately international operations through NTI’s
European subsidiary.”

capabilities to support the next generation of digital
