Victor H. (Hu) Meena, Jr., Chairman and CEO
Hu Meena serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Mississippi-based C Spire – one of the nation’s largest providers of wireless, fiber broadband, managed and cloud services. He is responsible for the strategic direction of the brand and setting the vision for the company.
Under his leadership, the company has grown to become the largest privately held wireless carrier in the nation. Meena also led the start-up of Telepak Networks, Inc., a fiber optic based broadband networking company that today operates as C Spire Fiber and companion brands C Spire Business and C Spire Home.
In recent years, C Spire’s reach has expanded significantly in Alabama via the acquisition of Birmingham-based TekLinks, Mobile-based Harbor Communications and Troy-based Troy Cablevision. These moves expanded the company’s capabilities in managed and cloud services and strategically added to C Spire’s fiber-optic network. These acquisitions further positioned C Spire’s efforts to become the dominant, non-incumbent fiber based, technology company in the region.
In 2017, C Spire, along with the C Spire Foundation, launched the Tech Movement to move the communities it serves forward through technology. Components include expanding access to broadband, supporting computer science education, and showcasing the latest innovations and trends in technology. The Foundation has recently donated $1 million to the University of Mississippi Medical Center Children’s hospital and donated $1 million the Mississippi State University for Cyber Education and Computer Science Teacher Training. The C Spire Foundation has also supported the following organizations, competitions, and entities: Base Camp Coding Academy, Mississippi State Spelling Bee, Computer Science Scholarships at all eight Mississippi public universities, Mississippi Science Fest presented by C Spire, 2nd Chance Mississippi – adult digital literacy education, Mississippi First Tech Challenge Robotics Competition, and ARISE MS Summer Coding Camp.
