A Year of Firsts

Tonight, the clock will strike midnight and usher in a new decade of promise. 

Before that happens, I think it’s important to acknowledge 2019 as a year of important firsts. Firsts that have laid the groundwork for a new transformational technology that will ultimately change everything about the way we live, work and play. Firsts that are impacting our customers today and for decades to come. Firsts that have personally and professionally challenged me in ways I couldn’t have imagined. 

I’m incredibly proud of Verizon Business and all of the steps we’ve taken together as a team since we were first formed in April. Our goal from day one has been to drive ourselves forward, our customers forward and the world at large forward. All of this has been built on the incredible technological leaps Verizon has taken this year from being first in the world to launch commercial 5G Home, 5G mobility service and most recently our 5G mobile edge compute platform. 

We’re already seeing what’s possible. Whether it’s the future of emergency response, sports, manufacturing, shipbuilding, gaming, healthcare, transportation and more, you name it and it’s going to evolve. And what’s most exciting for us all is that we can say we’re seeing it first. 

2020 and beyond is going to be filled with promise thanks to the incredible year we are drawing to a close. I want to thank each of you for your commitment to excellence, for showing up and persevering and for recognizing everyday that what we do matters to our customers, society, our shareholders and each other. Thanks for being #allin.

Happy New Year's Eve!

Tami
