I've worked closely with Sammie for about 2 years at Ting Internet, where she showcased exceptional dedication and skill, notably in leading the migration of voice customers to our new cloud VoIP solution. Sammie was also instrumental in implementing our new Hybrid Fiber Coax product, perfectly tailored to meet the needs of enterprise clients and multi-dwelling communities seeking cost-effective internet services beyond fiber-to-the-unit solutions. I wholeheartedly endorse her for any project.
