Louie Morsillo
Chief Financial Officer
Louie is our CFO. His favorite color is black.
He is a super-smart numbers guy but also friendly and highly approachable. Louie believes in organic growth and has always encouraged Frontier to grow one customer at a time vs. bolting on silly acquisitions that make “ZERO” sense.
Louie is an incredible resource and a ‘go-to’ for Frontier’s sales team when they create and deliver complex winning proposals. Louie is the reason Frontier can innovate with bundled services, no up-front fees, flexible contracts, layered services (such as Security & Voice), and fully funded hardware and roll-outs.
Louie’s real name is Luigi as well. He goes by Louie. Small world.

Customer and Carrier Relations
Chris leads a team of Telecommunication Analysts that pour through our partner bills on a monthly basis, so you don’t have to.

Chris is an essential component of Frontier’s customer service team, ensuring timely, consolidated and accurate billing.

Don Handapangoda
Technical Team Escalation Manager
Don is our resident subject matter expert, trusted advisor, and an integral member of Frontier’s technical escalation team.
Don is relentless, and his team of competent specialists tackles our most difficult inter-networking support problems – quickly.
Don does not follow the traditional workweek since we operate 24 x 7 x 365. You can often find Don in the office talking to Don, Marc, or Luigi or after-hours at a supermarket buying groceries for his family while speaking to Don, Marc, or Luigi and even at a family function in the corner talking to Don, Marc, or Luigi.
Don might have the worst role at Frontier Networks. Second to Chris.
