Job Titles:

Leading NFLEXON is CEO and Co-Founder, George Brooks. After 18 years at CommScope/SYSTIMAX (Avaya & Lucent Technologies), he formed NFLEXON because he realized the structured cabling industry model had reached an inflection point. Because end-users find themselves paying too much and contractors are competing on an unlevel playing field, George is creating a new normal for the industry - the NFLEXON model of purchasing tier 1 quality network cabling products and innovative technologies indirectly with end-user direct pricing.
As a business executive with expertise in enterprise-scale technology development, incubation, and commercialization for smart buildings and data centers, George's leadership and experience give him a keen and informed point of view on how to provide a better business model for end-users to maximize their value.
George Brooks earned a B.S. in electronics engineering technology from the University of Southern Mississippi and an M.B.A. from the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University. He is also a BICSI-certified Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD).
