Profilo

Jerry Kent is a recognized entrepreneur and trailblazer in the telecommunications and technology industries, with an outstanding track record of customer service and delivering superior returns for investors.
In addition to his role as Chairman and CEO of Cequel III, which he co-founded in January 2002, he serves as Chairman and CEO of TierPoint.
Cequel III is a technology management company.
Previously, the Cequel III team built AAT Communications into the largest privately owned cell tower company in the United States before selling that enterprise in 2006.
Cequel III and Jerry also managed Suddenlink Communications, building it into the seventh largest U.S.
cable company with operating results among the best in its industry before it was sold to Altice Group in 2015 for an enterprise value of $9.1 billion.
Jerry began his career as a CPA with Arthur Andersen in 1979 and, in 1983, left to head up acquisitions and finance for an upstart cable company, Cencom Cable Associates, Inc. He later became CFO of Cencom, which grew by acquisition and eventually served 550,000 customers in the U.S.
before it was sold in 1991.
After serving a year with Cencom’s acquirer, Jerry left and co-founded Charter Communications, Inc. in January 1993.
He led Charter to become one of the 10 largest cable operators in the U.S., serving 1.3 million customers.
In 1998, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen acquired Charter, providing substantial rewards for Charter’s private investors.
Jerry continued as President and CEO, growing Charter to serve more than seven million customers and making it the nation’s fourth largest cable company at the time.
The company went public in November 1999, in what was then the third-largest IPO in U.S.
history.
Charter consistently led the industry in superior operating results, and from the IPO date until September 2001, the month Jerry left, Charter was the best performing public cable stock.
