Fibernow Appoints Jason Praeter as Chief Executive Officer

MIAMI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fibernow, a leading provider of fiber-based broadband, cloud-based video, and digital voice services, today announced the appointment of Jason Praeter as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Praeter succeeds Luis Rodriguez, who successfully led Fibernow through a period of foundational growth, platform development, and operational buildout. Rodriguez will continue to support the company on an ongoing basis.

“Jason is a proven operator with deep experience scaling fiber-based businesses and leading organizations through periods of growth and transformation,” said Jonathan Friesel, Senior Managing Director and Head of Fiber at DigitalBridge. “His disciplined, customer-first approach and track record of translating fiber investment into market expansion position Fibernow strongly as we execute the next phase of our strategy and broaden our footprint.”

Praeter brings nearly two decades of experience in the consumer broadband and fiber infrastructure space, having begun his career in the industry in 2007. He joins Fibernow from altafiber, where he helped oversee nearly $1 billion in revenue and served a customer base of more than 500,000 subscribers. During his tenure, Praeter held senior leadership roles across sales, operations, and general management, leading large-scale network expansions, operational scaling initiatives, and sustained customer growth across multiple markets.

“I’m excited to step into the role of Chief Executive Officer at Fibernow and lead the company into its next phase of growth,” said Praeter. “Fibernow has built a strong platform and a reputation for delivering reliable, high-capacity fiber services. As demand continues to grow, our focus will be on expanding our network footprint while bringing world-class service to customers across Florida and beyond, strengthening execution, and building the operational foundation needed to support the next phase of long-term, sustainable growth.”
