Tom Bartlett Takes the Reins at American Tower

American Tower Corporation has named new leadership, as Jim Taiclet is departing to take the reins at Lockheed Martin. Succeeding Taiclet as president and CEO of the Boston-based telecommunications REIT is Tom Bartlett, effective immediately.

Bartlett has served as American Tower’s EVP and CFO for more than 10 years, joining the company from Verizon Communications in April 2009 after a career there of more than 25 years. During Bartlett’s tenure, American Tower’s total revenues have grown by 375%, and its enterprise value has expanded to $128 billion from $16 billion.

“It’s an exciting time for American Tower,” said Bartlett. “Not only are we well-positioned to capitalize on the continuing secular growth trends in mobile on a worldwide basis, but we also have a proven leadership team and dedicated employees throughout our markets to meet the needs of our diverse stakeholders.”
