Angie Klein has a career built on the back of unique and strong product launches. Her 20-plus-year career at Verizon included leadership roles across the home and wireless businesses and has yielded innovative and unique products for customers. Her outspoken style, together with a focus on value proposition design and customer experience has led to some impressive, disruptive products such as Mix & Match, more Unlimited plans and simplifying bundling pricing. Angie’s vision is clear – give customers clear and simple options according to their specific needs.
Her latest role as CEO of Visible, Verizon’s digital-only carrier, seems like a great fit. A brand built to disrupt needs a leader with a track record in doing just that to stand out in a crowded market. Klein’s expertise in thinking outside of the box reflects Visible’s niche in the market. Visible’s most recent campaign, the Singles Registry, in partnership with Match, is a clever and humorous way to attract young, digital-native singles to the company.
In this episode of the Fierce Telecom Podcast, host Alejandro Piñero talks to Angie about her vision for Visible and the legacy she wishes to establish, her views on building winning teams, retail strategy, how leaders (and everyone in tech!) have a role to play in building greater diversity across tech companies... and, naturally, the curse of having names frequently related to pop songs (special thanks to Lady Gaga and the Rolling Stones for that!).
