Draper-based Internet service provider Utah Broadband, a subsidiary of Boston Omaha Corp., has announced the appointment of Ben Elkins as its new CEO, following the retirement of Taunya Martin, its former president. Elkins is presently CEO of AireBeam, a Internet service provider and another subsidiary of Boston Omaha based in Arizona City, Arizona. He will assume the Utah Broadband position as an additional role.
“We are very pleased that Ben will be taking over at Utah Broadband,” said Mike (Butch) Burgers, chief operating officer at Boston Omaha Asset Management. “Ben has achieved an incredible amount of success at AireBeam and we know he will bring that success to Utah Broadband to make it a premiere broadband service provider in the Greater Salt Lake area.”
Utah Broadband serves seven counties along the Wasatch Front and Wasatch Back. In 2021, the company started offering fiber to the home in addition to its fixed wireless offerings.
“I am pleased to take on these added duties and that Boston Omaha showed its faith in me to expand and grow Utah Broadband’s business,” Elkins said. “I’ll be able to bring some of the best practices we’ve cultivated at AireBeam and apply them to Utah Broadband to better serve customers and expand the business. I am confident we’ll get the job done and Utah Broadband will continue to be known for its outstanding customer service and great value.”
