Telecommunications 2024: MAGGIE HALLBACH

With more than two decades at Verizon, Hallbach served in a number of senior executive positions before being promoted to her current position in 2022.

Verizon Public Sector is the telecommunication company’s government contracting arm and is responsible for Verizon Frontline, a 5G communications service for first responders. In May, the U.S. Navy chose Verizon Public Sector to provide wireless devices and services as one of the contractors on a potential 10-year, $2.67 billion contract.

In December 2023, Verizon Public Sector was awarded a $15 million Navy task order to provide voice and data services for the military branch’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation division.

Most recently, Verizon Frontline and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) partnered on a three-year cooperative research and development agreement to address advanced disaster response research.

A graduate of Brown University with an MBA from the University of Maryland, Hallbach serves on the board of directors for the Northern Virginia Technology Council. In September, she was named chair of the Executive Mosaic 4×24 Leadership Series’ 5G Group.
