It started with a question: How could a company already recognized for technical excellence become a force of cultural and operational transformation? For Emily Wilcox, president and chief executive officer of Epic Broadband Solutions, the answer came through decisive leadership, sharp financial strategy and a deep commitment to empowering people at every level of the business.
Wilcox did not merely inherit a successful company—she elevated it. Over the past three years, Epic Broadband Solutions experienced consistent growth under her guidance, but it was the last twelve months that redefined its trajectory. The company achieved a revenue increase of more than 85% year-over-year, marking a historic milestone. That figure wasn’t a fluke—it was the result of calculated expansion, strategic hiring and internal process optimization led by a leader who understands that sustainable growth requires structure and heart.
Her view of the future isn’t limited to market opportunities. Wilcox sees the future of work as a culture-driven evolution. At Epic Broadband Solutions, that means investing heavily in mentorship and internal training while refining the company’s mission to attract and retain high-performing individuals. Employees are not just hired—they’re cultivated. She established systems that enable team members to align their strengths with evolving company goals, helping them feel ownership in the business’s forward momentum.
What sets Wilcox apart is her refusal to coast on momentum. She leads with a mix of humility and boldness, refusing to accept yesterday’s wins as today’s standard. Reigniting her own passion for the business is a daily discipline—she reflects on her progress, leans into feedback and surrounds herself with people who challenge her to think differently.
This year, one of her greatest leadership lessons came through vulnerability. Wilcox realized the importance of trusting her intuition—not as guesswork, but as a finely honed instinct developed through years of hands-on decision-making. Acting on that intuition allowed her to make quick, impactful decisions even in moments of uncertainty.
Beyond company walls, she’s equally focused on elevating others. This year, Wilcox prioritized mentoring emerging professionals in the broadband and telecommunications space. By creating opportunities for new talent, she is helping shape an industry that’s both technologically advanced and inclusively led. She measures impact not in applause but in access—how many people now have a seat at the table who previously did not?
Being named a Second-Year Titan 100 Honoree has served as a personal and professional affirmation for Wilcox. The platform has amplified her voice, connected her with peers who share her drive and pushed her to expand her own definition of leadership. It’s not just about building a successful company—it’s about setting a precedent others can follow.
Wilcox proves that leadership in tech doesn’t need to be brash to be bold. With clarity, compassion and conviction, she’s shaping a company—and an industry—that runs on both innovation and intention.
