David Girvan joined Conexon from one of the nation’s most successful electric cooperatives, United Electric, where he served as Chief Operating Officer. Though United’s electric service territory encompasses an area with less than 3 electric meters per mile, David launched a fiber network and led the co-op to success with a focus on the aggressive deployment of commercial and residential fiber services. Under his leadership, the fiber business grew from a 7,000-member cooperative to one now serving more than 17,000 members and customers with fiber broadband subsidizing the electric operation.

In his Operations role for internet service provider arm Conexon Connect, David looks forward to being able to continue to build and operate state-of-the-art fiber networks. He joined Conexon for the opportunity to reach rural America with broadband services better than those often found in urban centers.

Prior to working in the electric cooperative industry, David was an information technology professional. During his almost two decades working with information technology, he has worked in many different roles including systems engineering, supervisory roles, software packaging and infrastructure builds. With significant international exposure, his career has been filled with project-based assignments for large companies such as IBM, HP and other industry leaders. David holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Technology from Northwest Missouri State University and recently completed his MIP Select certification from NRECA.
