About Victor Esposito

Victor Esposito is Chief Technology Officer at Ritter Communications. Location: United States.

Dynamic technology executive with 25+ years driving telecom transformation. As CTO at Ritter Communications, I lead architecture, engineering, construction, product technology, and network operations across a 9-state fiber/HFC footprint — delivering scalable, high-speed connectivity for rural America and hyperscaler expansion. Key Wins at Ritter: • Delivered ~50K Greenfield FTTx passings per year at sub-$1,000 per passing. • Cut enterprise construction costs/timelines ~50%; built Comms & Audit team driving complaints <1%. • Executive sponsor for ~$50M hyperscaler fiber build enabling multi-state growth. • Deployed 7Gbps Fiber, 2Gbps HFC (to 4Gbps), Plume Managed Wi-Fi (boosting NPS/MTTR), and IP Video (50% faster/cheaper installs). • Led an IPES conversion from CLEC ($1M+/yr TDM savings) and 400Gbps backbone upgrades. • Manage $70M capex + $6M opex budgets, 150+ internal team members & 150+ contractors; implemented career development and RACI frameworks. • Active SCTE National Board Member advancing industry standards and innovation. I thrive in blending hands-on engineering execution with strategic leadership, modernizing networks for AI/edge demands while building high-performing teams. My “Here & Invested” move from Alaska to Jonesboro underscores the real impact of rural broadband on communities and growth. I'm open to board roles, speaking, partnerships, or collaborations in fiber, infrastructure, and telecom. Let’s connect on scaling the networks of tomorrow. #FTTH #FiberOptics #RuralBroadband #TelecomLeadership #SCTE #AIInfrastructure
