In 2025 we announced the creation of our advisory board, which includes a number of multifamily and broadband luminaries. But what exactly does an advisory board do, and why is it important?
In today's fast-paced and ever-evolving technological landscape, having an advisory board is not just a strategic advantage; it's a necessity. For Aerwave, the leading source of managed WiFi in the multifamily industry, the formation of an advisory board marks a significant milestone in our journey towards transforming connectivity across the real estate sector.
Leveraging Expertise and Experience
The Aerwave Advisory Board is composed of top technology executives and visionaries, including Steve Boyack, COO of JVM Realty and President of JVM Management; Daniel Ebner, President of Knightvest Residential; James Hamrick, SVP of Technology at Gables Residential; and Jeremy Poteet, Chief Information & Technology Officer at JBG SMITH. These industry leaders bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, offering invaluable insights that can help our leadership and technology teams navigate the complexities of the multifamily industry. Their collective expertise ensures that Aerwave remains at the forefront of technological innovation – which is critical in the rapidly evolving multifamily industry.
Driving Company Growth and Client Satisfaction
The primary roles of the advisory board are to drive product innovation and continuously improve the customer experience. Listening to the voice of the customer is critical for success, and by leveraging their extensive networks and industry connections, the board members can help drive innovation and open doors to new business opportunities and partnerships. This can lead to increased market share and revenue growth for Aerwave. Additionally, the advisory board can provide strategic guidance on how to enhance client satisfaction by identifying pain points and recommending solutions that improve the overall user experience. This is particularly important for Aerwave, which prides itself on delivering seamless, secure, and resident-first WiFi for every multifamily community.
Setting New Standards in Resident Experience and Operational Transparency
Aerwave's mission is to reimagine connectivity for modern living, and the advisory board plays a crucial role in achieving this goal. By guiding the company in setting new standards in resident experience and operational transparency, the advisory board ensures that Aerwave continues to deliver zero-touch onboarding, transparent network analytics, and AI-enhanced service assurance. These innovations simplify operations for multifamily owners and operators, making it easier for them to manage their properties and provide a superior living experience for residents.
Reinforcing Commitment to Excellence
The formation of the advisory board reinforces Aerwave's commitment to exceeding the expectations of multifamily operators and residents. By bringing together a dynamic group of leaders, Aerwave demonstrates its dedication to continuous improvement and excellence. This commitment is further evidenced by the company's recognition as the 2025 Broadband Communities Award for Multifamily Partner of the Year and selection as the winner of the Managed Wifi PropTech campaign. With the advisory board's guidance, Aerwave is well-positioned to maintain its leadership in the industry and continue delivering critical WiFi infrastructure and support for multifamily communities.
Having an advisory board is essential for Aerwave as we transform managed WiFi for the multifamily industry. The collective expertise and experience of the advisory board members provide strategic guidance that drives company growth, enhances client satisfaction, and sets new standards in resident experience and operational transparency. By reinforcing its commitment to excellence.
