Jeff Gower
Jeff Gower is the CEO of MarketSpark, the Bannockburn, Illinois company betting that the millions of copper phone lines humming inside American buildings are on borrowed time. Since 2020 he has led the enterprise POTS-replacement business, swapping static, costly analog lines for managed 4G/5G-ready wireless that keeps elevators, fire alarms and fax machines talking after the copper is gone. An engineer by training with an MIT Sloan MBA, Gower spent two decades scaling mobility and B2B services businesses across the globe - Siemens Mobile, Brightstar, Samsung Electronics and Trux - before turning the unglamorous plumbing of enterprise telecom into a growth story backed by a $7M Series B.
