Phillip Deneef got his official start in telecom more than 19 years ago spearheading a team of B2B data specialists for T-Mobile and Cingular. By 2003, Deneef had quickly advanced into various positions of leadership in business development and marketing for a series of global manufacturing and telecommunications companies. Over the course of the next 15 years, Deneef developed a highly regarded reputation as a telecom expert with a consistent track record of implementing proactive strategies that more than doubled company revenue and valuation.

Over the course of the next three years Deneef’s drive, innovative ideas, technical know-how, and innate business acumen played an instrumental role in driving the company to achieve a 748% growth rate, landing GeoLinks on Inc. Magazine’s Inc 5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America in both 2017 and 2018.

Today, Phillip Deneef holds the position of Chief Strategy Officer at GeoLinks, overseeing a wide range of company initiatives including the development of strategic national partnerships, product expansion, and improving the overall customer experience. Deneef represents GeoLinks as a principle member of both local and national consortiums and organizations that actively advocate and influence policies that aim to resolve the broadband gap in rural America.
