VP, Business Development

Boingo simplifies complex wireless challenges to connect people, businesses, federal agencies, and things. For more than 25 Years, Boingo has pioneered wireless connectivity solutions across military and federal installations, airports, stadiums, transportation hubs, commercial properties, and other complex venues.

Boingo is seeking a strategic, results-oriented Vice President, Business Development to lead the growth strategy and business development organization, while supporting the company's Military and Federal markets.

The Vice President will set the business development direction, establish market and account priorities, build a high-quality multiyear pipeline, strengthen senior-level relationships across the Department of Defense and federal ecosystem, and develop a high-performing sales organization. The successful candidate will anticipate changes in federal priorities, budgets, leadership, procurement practices, and funding cycles and translate those changes into timely adjustments to Boingo's strategy and execution.
