Leadership

---

Dana Morton is a telecom OSP engineering and deployment executive whose 40-year career spans the full range of legacy and emerging network technology. From legacy copper and long-haul fiber to FTTP, buried and underground plant, aerial construction, ODAS, small cell, and utility fiber programs — his experience covers every medium and method through which networks connect to the physical world.

His background is grounded in outside plant engineering, permitting strategy, and make-ready execution across all infrastructure types. That includes extensive work managing pole attachment programs and pole owner relationships at scale — giving him a precise understanding of how the permitting and attachment process works from both sides. For third-party clients, that knowledge means faster approvals, smarter route decisions, and build plans that don't get derailed by avoidable process friction.

Over four decades Dana has led major programs across the industry — overseeing the engineering, permitting, and installation of millions of FTTP homes passed, thousands of small cell and ODAS nodes, large-scale  programs, and critical military network upgrades. He has developed and managed Tier 1 carrier relationships nationally across both legacy and next-generation network deployments.

He has also played key roles in multiple private-equity transactions, working directly with investors and PE sponsors to prepare operational materials and lead diligence presentations — translating the realities of OSP field execution into the financial language that boards and capital partners require.
