Clearfield’s Kevin Morgan Named as One of Twin Cities Business Notable Chief Marketing Officers for 2024

By: via Business Wire

Morgan recognized for the positive changes he championed in the fiber broadband industry

Clearfield (NASDAQ: CLFD), the leader in community broadband fiber connectivity, today announced that Kevin Morgan, Chief Marketing Officer of Clearfield, Inc., has been named a Notable Chief Marketing Officer for 2024 by Twin Cities Business. This award goes to those who have proven themselves and the brands they represent worthy of recognition.

To qualify for this list, individuals must have shown an ability to effect change in their industry; Morgan has played an integral role over the past several decades through his work at the companies he has been a part of, as well as the industry associations he has helped lead. He is highly regarded as a leading advocate for how the industry brings high-speed broadband to all of America, including the rural community broadband networks represented by Clearfield customers.

“Kevin has truly been an asset to the Clearfield team since joining us eight years ago,” said Cheri Beranek, Chief Executive Officer at Clearfield. “His ideas continue to help Clearfield take fiber further and reach the underserved and unserved markets. His expertise is not only a huge value to us, but to those in the industry he helps to educate while traveling and speaking at events.”

Morgan has led Clearfield’s marketing efforts since 2016. Together with the organization's founders and the rest of the leadership team, he honed the company's messaging, building Clearfield’s reputation as the leading fiber connectivity and fiber management supplier and helping broadband service providers reduce the cost of deployment.

“I am both humbled and honored to have been named to Twin Cities Business’ Notable Chief Marketing Officer 2024 list,” said Morgan. “Earning this award is a testament showing that the work we have been doing at Clearfield is helping to advance the fiber broadband industry.”

Morgan served as the Chairman of the Board for the Fiber Broadband Association for three of the past nine years where he led efforts with federal agencies and Congress to educate them on the benefits of fiber-based high-speed broadband. These efforts were critical in securing over $100 billion of federal funding for broadband in the decade from 2020-30. He now serves as a member of the organization’s Senior Council. Recognized for his domain expertise and industry knowledge, he is a frequent speaker at industry events and conferences.
