Since taking the helm in 2023, Marino has transformed Ezee Fiber from a localized Houston internet provider into a multistate network spanning Texas, New Mexico, Illinois, Oregon, Michigan, and Washington. This expansion included the strategic acquisitions of Tachus Fiber Internet and Conterra’s network assets, alongside a high-profile partnership with the Houston Astros. His tenure draws on two decades of industry experience, including executive roles at Altice USA, Charter Communications, and Time Warner Cable.

Ezee Fiber Chairman Andrew Crouch credited Marino’s success to his community-centric management style. Despite the company’s aggressive geographic scaling, Crouch noted that the firm has maintained its focus on local investment and service quality. Marino, who holds a degree from Washington and Lee University and completed executive training at Harvard, will be formally recognized at an upcoming awards event hosted by the journal.
