Blazing a path forward means learning lessons from the past. And UScellular follows that sage advice, as Kim Kerr, Senior VP, Enterprise Sales and Operations for UScellular, attested to during her recent stop by Nokia Today and her chat with host Tyler Kern.
With 25 years in the telecom industry, Kerr’s seen and learned quite a few lessons. One of the first lessons she mentioned is that, no matter how long one’s worked in an industry, new opportunities will always provide surprising and enlightening changes.
Another lesson Kerr said was of vital importance was to make sure she woke up every day going to work doing something she loved to do at a job; she recognized who they were, what they were about and whose values aligned with hers.
“As it turned out, I hit the trifecta of goodness coming into UScellular,” Kerr said.
Kerr said it is an exciting time for UScellular to build, grow and transform into a world-class business sales organization. “And when you say, build, grow and transform, normally, companies either build and grow, or you’re building and transforming; it’s like one or the other,” Kerr said. “We’re doing all of it. So, that involves expanding channels on the business side. It involves going into segmentation and specialization. It’s this incredible opportunity to lean into IoT, what’s happening to that industry, and emerging technologies like 5G. How do we grow that? It’s just very exciting.”
UScellular sees the potential for many different opportunities, and Kerr said they are leaving no stone unturned in capitalizing on these many avenues for growth. As a tier 4 company in 21 states, Kerr said they were taking a hyper-local approach to capitalize on these opportunities.
“Our focus continues to be serving and supporting local communities to provide a fast and reliable network,” Kerr said.
