Rich Daly shared thisIt’s both fun and interesting to be engaged with a team that is adapting to exciting opportunities and advancing our AI skill sets. Fast, Friendly,Fixed. We got you!! #LifeatATTRich Daly shared this🌺 📣 🥇Today was one of those days that truly reminded me how special this team is! During our 2Q All Hands meeting, I found myself in awe, not just of the incredible work being delivered, but of the resilience behind it. We are navigating a period of significant change. And yet, time and again, this team shows up. Showing up with focus. With determination. With a shared commitment to keep moving us forward. Not just maintaining, but pushing the needle. I was especially inspired to see how the team is leaning into what’s next, embracing new ways of working, exploring AI, and finding smarter, faster, more impactful ways to serve our customers and support each other. That mindset doesn’t just happen. It’s built through trust, curiosity, and a willingness to grow. And of course we had some fun along the way 🌺 leaning into our Hawaiian theme as we gear up for summer. Because even in the midst of transformation, we make space to connect, intentionally. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. Grateful to lead and learn from a team like this every day. #Leadership #TeamCulture #Resilience #FutureOfWork #AI #Gratitude Nicole Sauer, MBA Brittney Noboa Scott Carver Maria Quinones Kennedy Kajogo Dawn Phillips Kate Ragan Blake Hockenbrough

Rich Daly reposted thisRich Daly reposted thisMy second daughter lived for 4 days. She taught me more than most people could in a lifetime. Today is my daughter Lucie’s 2nd birthday. She had a genetic condition called Trisomy 13. We found out 12 weeks into the pregnancy. It was the scariest, most emotionally volatile time of our lives. Every other week brought something new Lucie was dealing with. One diagnosis would get contradicted by the next. It was a rollercoaster that didn’t feel real. But Lucie was a fighter. She made it to term. She survived birth. She spent 4 sacred days with us. And my wife Stefanie Gariby was strong through all of it, stronger than I could’ve been. I think about what she taught me in those 4 days more than I’d expect. To stop treating ordinary moments like they’ll always be there. To keep my head up when everything feels out of control. To love my family with my whole heart. To hug my kids a little tighter. Our family motto since then is “For Lucie.” We believe God sent her to us, and she persevered through so much just to be here. Now it’s on us to live up to her example. If you’ve ever lost a child, you’re not alone. You’ll get through it, even when it doesn’t feel that way. Happy birthday, Lucie. We love and miss our little girl.

Rich Daly shared thisThis changes the landscape and simplifies connectivity!!Rich Daly shared thisThere’s only one internet, why buy it twice? Simple question. Complicated answer…until now. We just stepped up and delivered for customers with the launch of AT&T OneConnect. This is the first-ever single subscription for unlimited connectivity across the devices you rely on -- at home and on the go. 72% of customers prefer a single subscription for connectivity, and OneConnect answers the call…eliminating the hassle of juggling multiple accounts and payments. One subscription. One flat monthly price. It’s that simple. Sign up for wireless and home internet together in under 5 minutes on America’s largest wireless and fiber networks, and America’s best and fastest home internet. Kudos to the team behind AT&T OneConnect…for creating a solution built around making it simple and easy for customers to be connected to what matters most. This is what the future of advanced connectivity looks like. Jenifer Robertson, Erin Scarborough, Nida Kia, Sarah Day, Jason Press, Brian Brower https://lnkd.in/gQ2gytUB

Rich Daly shared this📞 150 years ago today, the world changed with a single phone call. On March 10, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell spoke nine simple words into a device that would forever alter how humans connect: “Mr. Watson, come here—I want to see you.” That first successful telephone call didn’t just transmit a voice—it collapsed distance, reshaped business, and laid the foundation for the global communications networks we rely on today. From copper wires to fiber optics… From rotary dials to smartphones… From one room to billions of people instantly connected. As we build, automate, and innovate the next generation of connectivity, it’s worth pausing to appreciate how a single breakthrough can ripple across centuries. Here’s to 150 years of human connection—and to the conversations still ahead. Honored to be a part of creating those connections at AT&T. #ATT #Innovation #Connectivity #Telecommunications #Technology #Leadership #History #Networks

Rich Daly shared thisEXTRA!!! A powerful mindset! FLD walks the walk.Rich Daly shared thisAs many are reassessing their New Year’s resolutions, I recently read about the power of choosing a single word to guide your year. At the AfroTech Conference, I shared how the word “extra” has guided my career and life for the past three decades. To me, extra represents more than just a word; it’s a mindset that has helped me develop repeatable actions I’ve relied on to stand out throughout my career. At AfroTech, I shared those actions—what I call The Five Truths—with young professionals. In the coming weeks, I’ll share short clips from that speech here on LinkedIn—one truth per week. I hope you follow along and share your own learnings with those striving to advance their careers this year. The full speech is posted on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gDFccBNt

Reaching 2 million Internet Air subscribers is a great milestone, but the bigger signal is that customers continue to see value in having one provider they trust for both home and mobile connectivity.

Rich Daly reacted on thisThis is an important reminder that while AI is transforming industries, people remain at the center of that transformation. The growing demand for connectivity creates growing opportunities for the skilled teams who design, build, and maintain the networks that keep our customers and communities connected. I’m incredibly grateful for the dedication and expertise of our AT&T teams whose work is helping lay the foundation for the future.Rich Daly reacted on thisBehind the excitement around Al is the growing workforce needed to build and maintain the infrastructure that makes it possible. This NBC News story with Brian Cheung is a great look at the rising demand for fiber technicians, construction crews and engineers as Al drives the need for more connectivity across the country. AT&T is continuing to invest in the people who make all that possible. Our technician Matt Johnson offered the perfect reminder that some jobs still require a human touch: "You're not going to get Al to do this. This is HI - human intelligence." Scaling digital infrastructure requires scaling the skilled workforce that designs, builds and maintains it. Every connection begins with people-the skilled hands and bright minds designing, building and expanding the networks that power our digital world and keep communities connected. Proud of Todd, Matt, and all of our technicians and teams doing this work every day.

Rich Daly reacted on thisRich Daly reacted on thisSome leaders make an impact everywhere they go. REGINA WATTS is one of those leaders. Our story goes way back to our Chief of Staff days, and I’m incredibly grateful that our paths have come together again in my new role. Regina is a powerhouse. She leads Learning & Development with vision, energy, and a clear understanding of where our workforce needs to go next. But what I appreciate most is that her vision is grounded in the frontline. She knows the work. She understands our employees. She understands what our leaders need. And she never loses sight of the customer at the other end of everything we do. As we think about the future of work, developing new capabilities and preparing our teams for what’s next will be critical. Having a leader like Regina helping shape that journey makes me excited about what we can build together. Grateful to be working beside you again, Regina. The best is yet to come. #WeCare #LifeatATT Kimberly Newkirk Shawna Erdmann

Rich Daly liked thisRich Daly liked thisInvesting in leadership development requires self-reflection and a desire to do better. The biggest challenge and reward I have had in leadership is trying to set a vision and get a team to buy into it, adopt it and own it themselves. Ability continues to check so many boxes for my growth, and I realize I still have so much to learn about effective leadership. Thanks for continuing to pour into me and the Ability team Jen Asplund - I appreciate you.

Rich Daly reacted on thisRich Daly reacted on thisLeadership isn’t just about celebrating your own team. It’s about celebrating great teams. Recently I had the opportunity to join our Richardson Center of Expertise team for their celebration at Topgolf. While Richardson isn’t part of my direct organization, it didn’t matter. Great work deserves to be recognized. What I enjoyed most wasn’t the golf. It was seeing teammates laughing together, leaders connecting with their people, and the energy that comes from taking a moment to celebrate accomplishments. Culture isn’t built in conference rooms. It’s built in moments like these. Congratulations to the Richardson team on all you’ve accomplished. Thank you for welcoming me into your celebration. It was a great reminder that when we invest in our people, celebrate wins, and build connections across organizations, we all get stronger. That’s what momentum is all about.

As telecom continues to evolve, one thing remains constant: the need for a reliable and intelligent switching core. Over the last years, I’ve focused heavily on optimizing our voice infrastructure, and one platform that truly stands out in terms of performance, stability, and long-term scalability is #Veriswitch. Running a telecom company means dealing with high-volume traffic, quality expectations, and real-time decision-making. Veriswitch has consistently delivered the kind of routing intelligence, analytics, and operational control that serious carriers rely on. What I appreciate most as a founder: 1. Enterprise-level stability under heavy load 2. Smart routing with granular configuration 3. Fast onboarding and clean UI 4. Transparent analytics for better business decisions 5. A platform built with the future in mind If your organization is considering upgrading its switching infrastructure or exploring new growth opportunities in VoIP, feel free to reach out. I’m always open to sharing insights based on real operational experience. Building strong infrastructure is how we build strong companies. #VoIP #Telecom #CarrierSolutions #SwitchingPlatform #VoIPBusiness #TelecomIndustry #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #TechInfrastructure #UnifiedCommunications #BusinessGrowth #CEOInsights #FounderMindset #volfcommunications
