Kevin O'HaraAs media multiplies, so does the Elemental leadership team. Today, Elemental welcomes Kevin O’Hara to its board of directors. Kevin is a serial entrepreneur and seasoned executive with more than twenty years of leadership experience, ten of which came during his time as co-founder and president of Level 3 Communications, a leading provider of fiber-based communication services and one of the world's largest content delivery networks.

During his tenure with Level 3, Kevin set the company on the fast track to success by investing heavily in its infrastructure. As a result, Level 3 is now one of the most sophisticated communications companies in the world. Kevin’s leadership resulted in many successful investments to give Level 3 the momentum it needed to grow. Under Kevin’s watch, Level 3 solidified its position as one of the largest IP transit networks in North America and Europe.

Kevin brings phenomenal operating experience to the Elemental board with specific expertise in networking and IP video delivery. He was one of the first employees at Metropolitan Fiber Systems (MFS), which was acquired by Worldcom in 1996 for $14.5 billion. 

When he’s is not growing startups into billion dollar enterprises, Kevin spends much of his time outdoors: skiing, hiking, and biking in the mountains of Colorado and beyond. Elemental is pleased to have an individual with Kevin's experience taking a seat on our board.
