Verizon's new public sector leader takes the role after nearly two decades in sales, business development and transformation initiatives at the telecommunications giant.
Verizon said Monday it has promoted nearly 25-year company veteran Maggie Hallbach to lead the telecommunications giant’s public sector business that covers federal, state, local and public safety.
Hallbach elevates to the role amid the rollout of the company’s Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband network and continued push to tailor much of what it does in the consumer market for use by government customers.
Most recently, Hallbach was vice president of public sector business development and strategic sales with responsibility for the design and capture of opportunities.
That role included responsibility for strategic sales initiatives and alignment of those to the overall public sector and corporate strategy.
“Maggie’s background, deep relationships and expertise in the public sector enable her to partner strategically with our customers to help them achieve their missions through innovation and digitization,” Sampath Sowmyanarayan, chief revenue officer for Verizon Business, said in a release.
Hallbach’s career at the company also includes leadership of a business transformation and process improvement initiative across all of the Verizon Business segment that works with both government and enterprise customers.
Hallbach succeeds Jennifer Chronis, who joined Verizon in the summer of 2020 to head the federal business and less than a year later added all of public sector to her responsibilities.
