‘Frontier is not the company you think it is. It is not an ISP, or a telco or an IT services company. We do all those things but at our core, is a belief that our people will make the difference. People to help our customers connect with their friends and family, connect to the growing ecosystem of health and care services they need, and connect to the exciting possibilities of education and entertainment online’.
David has a young family and ageing parents of his own. He has lived the frustrations felt by seniors grappling with new technology and the effortless adventures of young digital natives. ‘In some ways, if we can help someone reconnect with their children and grandchildren, using the wonders of technology and social media and help them with their third act in life, then our job is done’.
