Twin Valley Management Taps Business Strategy & Tech Experts for Board

Twin Valley Management, a fourth-generation family-owned company and parent to Twin Valley Telephone, Twin Valley Communications, SKT and ISG Technology, has announced the appointment of two new board members: Lisa Spadafora Thompson, partner at Axiom Consulting Partners, and Jay Brodsky, Chief Digital Officer for American Geophysical Union. On the heels of Twin Valley’s latest acquisition of SKT, the strategic appointment of Thompson and Brodsky adds outside technology and business strategy expertise to help guide the company’s next phase of growth.

“For more than 70 years, a guiding principle for our company and leaders has been to seek outside counsel and expertise to better serve our communities and maximize our potential,” said Ben Foster, President & CEO. “I’m honored to continue that foundational trait for our family with the addition of two board members who are both well aligned and qualified to help us realize our strategic vision.”

Over the last decade, the organization has been transformed and scaled from $8 million to over $120 million, now the largest family-owned broadband and managed IT company in Kansas. The composition of the board is evaluated regularly to ensure it includes the appropriate skills, knowledge and perspective necessary to achieve the company’s goals.

“As we prepare for the next phase of growth, we recognize having the right guidance and experience serving our team is of continued importance,” Foster said. “Lisa and Jay’s unique experience between technology, strategy and operational excellence will play a key role in helping our shareholders, the executive team and all team members leverage our portfolio of investments to realize our transformation goals and achieve our growth expectations.”
