Kenneth Meyers
Marco Island, FLRegion: US Southeast
Ken Meyers is a seasoned executive with over 40 years of proven operating and financial experience in fast-paced and highly competitive industries.
As CEO of U.S. Cellular ($4B, 5M customers, 250 company-owned outlets plus 1,000 additional points of distribution), Ken leveraged a customer satisfaction focused strategy and leading-edge I.S. and network technologies to serve both consumers and business customers, competing effectively against rivals 10-30x larger. Meyers’ tenure as CEO immediately required him to rebuild and unite a management team; reinvigorate a previously award-winning culture; and drive accountability throughout the organization – all done while coping with the after effects of a disastrous replacement of a major IT system that negatively impacted customers, employees, and business results. His powerful legacy included achieving record levels of employee satisfaction and engagement, a significant business turnaround, and developing a cadre of strong, next generation leaders.
