San Francisco, CA — August 19, 2019 Renovata & Company is pleased to announce the placement of Joe Hartnett as chief financial officer of Single Digits, a leading provider of high-speed internet access (HSIA) management and support solutions. A seasoned chief financial officer with more than 30 years of financial and operational leadership, Hartnett will oversee the company’s finances and provide strategic, operational and analytical insight to the business.
Single Digits, backed by GI Partners, offers a complete guest internet solution, including IP network design, engineering, professional services, ongoing maintenance, networking monitoring, multi-lingual support, revenue reporting and authentication tracking. The company currently serves more than 1,600 customers across various industries, including hospitality, property management, healthcare, government, education, travel and more.
The company is positioned for exponential growth with its innovative Broadband Authentication Platform (BAP), which enables properties to tailor their HSIA to their industry’s unique needs.
