I have the honor to serve as president and CEO for UScellular. I'm focused on growing UScellular's business and positioning the company for future success.

I joined UScellular in July 2020, bringing more than 15 years of experience in the wireless industry, including more than 10 years at AT&T, where I held roles as Chief Financial Officer of AT&T Business Solutions, Senior Vice President of Strategy, Senior Vice President of Small Business Solutions, and most recently as CEO of AT&T Mexico.

Prior to my time with AT&T, I was Chief Operating Officer of IPcelerate, Inc, and served as a consultant at Bain & Company. I also served nearly five years with the U.S. Marine Corps, earning the rank of Captain and serving as a telecommunications officer in Southeast Asia and San Diego.

I earned Bachelor's degrees in Business Administration and Marketing from Texas A&M University and a Master's degree in Business Administration from Harvard Business School. I live in the Chicago area with my wife and two daughters.

His teams' work encompasses network build-outs, network operations and technological advancements that include Voice over LTE (VoLTE) expansions and 5G network testing.

Irizarry and his team are responsible for bringing U.S. Cellular customers an enhanced wireless experience through a reliable, high-speed network that works when and where they need it. The team's commitment to investing in and enhancing the network is one of the reasons company has been repeatedly recognized by J.D. Power Award for Highest Wireless Network Quality Performance.

These teams focus on application development, data warehousing, wireless billing technologies and support for data centers and end users, all of which help associates deliver an excellent customer experience.
