What’s happening?
The past two years have shown how quickly connectivity demands can change, and providers must be nimble to meet these needs.

Why?
Frontier is in the early stages of a digital transformation. During the past year, it focused on earning customer loyalty, by launching 2 Gig network-wide, making operations more efficient and sustainable, and improving the customer experience.
Now, as Frontier leads in unlocking next-generation digital experiences for customers, it has brought together a leading group of innovators to imagine what’s next. Hearing from diverse perspectives across the future of work, gaming, customer experience, consumer technology, civic engagement, AR/VR, DE&I, culture, design, and brand will help ensure Frontier is considering every customer viewpoint and shaping a business that stays ahead of rapidly shifting connectivity demands.
Who’s in?
The council will interact with team members across Frontier’s business, so the discussions translate into real-world impact to customers. The council will convene with Frontier executives as part of its quarterly meetings.
