Grand Prairie, Texas — January 23, 2026 — As Lone Star Communications looks ahead to 2026, the organization is taking a deliberate step to strengthen its alignment of strategy and execution to scale effectively and deliver greater value to customers.
“As Lone Star continues to grow, it’s critical that our leadership structure evolves with the needs of our customers,” said Dan Hiett, the President of Lone Star Communications. “This alignment strengthens the connection between strategy and execution, enabling us to scale our core business while delivering advanced, high‑value solutions that support increasingly complex customer environments.”
Marquis Woodard, Chief Sales Officer, will continue to lead Lone Star Communications’ core sales organization and will oversee the process to fill the Central Texas sales leadership role.
