Biography Jerry Edgerton is a seasoned Washington, DC, veteran, possessing an intimate knowledge of the legislative and regulatory processes, as well as the ever-evolving business landscape. He is skilled in the “ways of Washington,” ready to assist and advise in important objectives from executive level relationships to securing viable government business. Jerry is widely known and respected in the federal marketplace for his 30+ years of bringing advanced communications technology to government. For nearly 20 years, Jerry skillfully led MCI/Verizon Business federal government business unit, building it from the ground up into a $3 billion enterprise, widely regarded today as the premier federal government telecommunications organization. Under Jerry’s leadership, the federal business unit enjoyed significant year over year revenue growth, retaining not only the vast majority of its customers, but its employees as well. The sales unit continually led the entire company in revenue growth and over-plan performance despite a highly competitive federal marketplace. MCI’s FTS2001 contract ushered in a new era of federal telecommunications beginning in 1998, delivering to the federal government – and to taxpayers – advanced technology at exceptional value. Networx has been awarded and is in the early stages of implementation. Significant opportunity exists for technology insertion and innovation with the new service providers. Jerry’s unrelenting focus on customer service has not gone unnoticed. Federal customers regularly give the company among the highest possible scores for service and responsiveness. Through Jerry’s efforts, managed networks for federal customers such as the U.S. Postal Service and the Department of Defense are unsurpassed in their reliability and innovative design. These solutions have set the standard in the federal marketplace for network performance – a standard that competitors continually attempt to emulate. Much of the work that Jerry has led in the federal arena has had a major impact on the government’s service to the citizen.
Jerry has also led an initiative to work with leading system integrators such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, CSC, Perot Systems and EDS to bring advanced networking capabilities to large corporate and government entities. Prior to MCI and Verizon Business, Jerry directed the federal operations group at Tymnet/McDonnell Douglas Network Systems Company. At the U.S. Postal Service, he managed application design and data center operations and directed the development and deployment of large network systems. Since leaving Verizon Business, Jerry has served in executive capacities providing guidance and governance to various organizations. Jerry holds a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from North Carolina State University and an MBA from Pace University in New York. He is a native of Goldsboro, North Carolina.
