Michael Pittman

Michael went to college with the goal of a simple and rewarding career as a PE teacher and high school basketball coach. While waiting on an opportunity, he worked with a family-friend as an office building superintendent.

About a month into that job in 2005 he met an individual looking for office space who was buying and reselling high end smartphones strictly through B2B. 4 years later, Pittman was Vice President of that rising start-up and the company was over 30 employees.

Basketball did not end up being his calling. For the next 10 years through two different organizations Pittman built up a massive network of cellular hardware related OEM’s, resellers, and carrier partners. As sales executive at two different organizations, Pittman became the top selling individual and drastically increased revenue and profit year over year.

In 2015 he decided there was much more to this channel than he was able to go after in his role. Innately, Pittman is a people person who has always had the drive to lead individuals and bring people together to be part of something bigger than themselves. Coupled with what he saw as a huge hole in the market for a TRUE service driven Value-Added Reseller, CSG was born in late 2015.

Completely self-funded and focused on a budding relationship with Verizon Wireless, CSG exploded onto the scene and by 2019 had grown over 13,000% to claim the spot as the 8th fastest growing company in US on the INC 5000 list.

Now featuring well over 100 employees from coast to coast, Connected Solutions Group has blossomed into an Elite Verizon partner and a key wireless hardware deployment partner for thousands of businesses across America.

Pittman attributes the explosive growth to the team culture of this organization, one he feels is very special, unique, and the driving force behind everything the “group” accomplishes.
