Noted for her extensive leadership experience and insightful
management style, Beranek has streamlined Clearfield’s
manufacturing processes to navigate supply chain challenges for its
customers as fiber broadband enters its largest investment cycle
ever. Beranek continues to intentionally focus on what customers
need and the role Clearfield can play in their success, while
providing solutions that enable operators to move from homes passed
to homes connected.
Beranek said, “It is an honor to receive this recognition from
EY and a reflection of Clearfield’s success based on our company’s
core values to listen, recognize, understand, collaborate, deliver
and celebrate. It validates the hard work of our dedicated
employees since the inception of Clearfield in 2008 and will be a
motivator to continue to focus on community broadband and the role
fiber can play in changing the economics and quality of life for
people and their communities.”
