Jeb! Joins Vertical Bridge Board

Former Florida Governor and not-quite-successful Republican Presidential candidate Jeb! Bush has joined the Board of Directors of Boca Raton, FL-based Vertical Bridge, the largest private owner and manager of communication towers and locations in the United States. “I have been impressed with the growth of Florida-based Vertical Bridge and the smart capital deployment of its parent company, Digital Bridge,” said Governor Bush, who will serve as an independent director. “I have long been a strong proponent of the role that improved telecommunications infrastructure can and should play in enhancing our quality of life in so many diverse ways. I look forward to contributing to the continued progress at Vertical Bridge.”

Concurrent with Governor Bush taking a seat on the Board, Vertical Bridge also announced that it has surpassed 52,000 total owned and master-leased sites in its portfolio. Since the company launched less than three years ago, Vertical Bridge has completed more than 100 acquisitions to become, by far, the largest private owner and manager of telecommunications assets in the U.S.

“Governor Bush understands and appreciates the need for greater wireless telecommunications infrastructure,” said Marc Ganzi, Executive Chairman of Vertical Bridge and co-founder & CEO of Digital Bridge Holdings, LLC, Vertical Bridge’s largest investor. “We are delighted to welcome him to our Board and to have the benefit of his experienced, clear-thinking, strategic counsel as we plan and execute our growth strategy going forward.”
