Grand Prairie, Texas — January 23, 2026As 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 part of this alignment, Chris Andrus, Chief Strategy Officer for Lone Star Communications, the Alairo Solutions Group, and ProMobix, will focus his day‑to‑day efforts on ensuring strategy and execution remain tightly connected. As part of this shift, Andrus will transition from leading Lone Star’s Central Texas sales region to leading the company’s Professional Services organization, now operating as the Advanced Solutions Group.
 
In this role, Andrus will work closely with Joel Coombs and the Advanced Solutions Group team to deliver higher‑value, advanced solutions that deepen and extend customer relationships. This evolution reinforces Professional Services as a strategic complement to Lone Star’s core sales organization—bringing specialized expertise to support complex customer environments while enabling scalable, repeatable engagement models.

“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. Under his leadership, the sales team delivered another record year in 2025, driven by disciplined execution, strong customer relationships, and a trusted ecosystem of technology partners.

 

Together, this leadership model reflects Lone Star’s strategic focus: leveraging a strong core business and long‑standing customer relationships, combined with industry‑leading partnerships, to drive sustained growth. While the core sales organization continues to fuel momentum, Professional Services and solution‑focused teams help amplify and extend the company’s impact.

 

This structure positions Lone Star Communications to protect and grow its core business while scaling a proven approach nationally—pairing strong sales leadership with advanced solutions and the right partners to meet evolving customer needs.

Andrus and Woodard continue to work in close partnership as roles and responsibilities evolve. Their collaboration has been instrumental in Lone Star’s growth and remains central to the company’s forward strategy.

 

Lone Star Communications is performing strongly today, and this leadership alignment positions the company for growth that extends beyond any individual product, partner, or geography—building a durable foundation for the future.
