Vivacity Infrastructure Group Welcomes Christopher Rabii as President & CEO

Christopher Rabii, a seasoned industry veteran with more than 25 years of experience, has joined Vivacity Infrastructure Group as President & CEO. With Rabii’s extensive experience, he will elevate the company’s position, and its operating divisions, including eX² Technology, Terra Consulting Group, and Vivacity Network, as an industry-leading network infrastructure provider.

“We are thrilled to welcome Chris to Vivacity Infrastructure Group,” said John Siegel, Vivacity Board Member and Partner of Columbia Capital. “Chris brings a proven track record of top-line revenue growth, operational efficiencies, industry leadership and invaluable expertise from his past positions. His strategic vision and deep understanding of the industry’s current and future direction will propel Vivacity Infrastructure Group’s business units forward with increased velocity.”

Rabii joins Vivacity with extensive experience in growing revenue, fostering high-performing teams, and spearheading fiber network expansions. Previously, Rabii was Chief Executive Officer at FiberLight, LLC., where he led the company through a period of significant growth and transformation while serving high-priority fiber infrastructure-focused businesses, including hyperscale cloud providers and wireless carriers, as well as enterprise, government, and educational clients. Rabii played an integral part in the sale of FiberLight to Morrison & Co., reaching financial close in April 2023. Since his tenure at FiberLight, Rabii has been appointed to and serves on the board of directors of Skywire Networks/Xchange Telecom.

“As I start this new and exciting opportunity with Vivacity Infrastructure Group, I’m honored to join a team of professionals so passionate about transforming network infrastructure,” says Rabii. “I’m eager to leverage my knowledge and experience to drive strategic growth and reinforce the positive impact Vivacity’s already making on the industry and its customers, especially during this transformational time of historic investment in digital infrastructure.”

Current President and CEO Lynn Refer is retiring after leading Vivacity Infrastructure Group for two years and with more than 30 years of overall telecom experience. “We are very fortunate to have Chris join our team. His background and experience are ideal for our infrastructure services offerings, and I am highly confident that Vivacity will continue its rapid growth under his leadership,” said Refer.

Karen Miller also recently joined Vivacity Infrastructure Group as Director of Commercialization, where she will focus on supporting end-user organizations by offering available fiber assets that will ultimately solve rural and metro telecommunications challenges.
