A BRIEF HISTORY
CableFinder was founded by industry veterans Jed Kenzy and Mike Trede, who both began their careers at CBeyond in the early aughts. Jed, a Colorado State University graduate, entered the telecommunications field with a focus on the indirect channel, driven by a passion for innovation.
Mike started his telecom journey in 2005, quickly advancing and gaining valuable insights into creating a better partner experience.
Together, they recognized the inefficiencies in simple, transactional cable orders and developed CableFinder: a channel-wide software solution aimed at streamlining processes for partners and end users.
Through their commitment to automation and sales enablement, Jed and Mike have positioned CableFinder as a transformative force in the telecom industry, optimizing efficiency and revolutionizing the way transactions are handled.
