32. NET(WORK) GROWTH
Jim Butman | President & CEO
TDS Telecom
Years in Media & Broadband:
20+
Education: BA, University
of Wisconsin-Eau Claire;
MBA, Finance, University of
Wisconsin-Madison
My personal superpower is:
Pretty much not afraid to
try anything-as a result I
am a jack of all trades and a
master of none!
With Butman at the helm, TDS
Telecom is building out networks
and providing fiber and
1 Gig broadband to more of
the country's rural communities,
minimizing the broadband
gap. More than half of TDS' total service addresses are capable of
receiving 1 Gigabit speed and that number is continuously inching
up. In May, Butman & Co celebrated a major milestone-a half million
broadband subscribers. Butman has been with TDS since 1985,
including previously running TDS Metrocom, which he built into a
$250 million business.
MY PROUDEST PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENT
OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS IS... Creating development
opportunities for top talent and seeing them grow and develop into
even stronger leaders.
WHAT HABIT ARE YOU KEEPING POST-PANDEMIC?
Exercising and eating healthy.
HOW DOES THE COUNTRY NARROW THE DIGITAL
DIVIDE? It has to be through education. We must ensure our less
fortunate also get access to top educational opportunities and that we
as a country work extra hard at motivating and unlocking the potential
of our youth, taking actions in our personal and professional lives to
foster diversity, equity, and inclusion.
MY COMFORT TV BINGE? Love " The Queen's Gambit " -
caused me to learn chess. ■
