BRENTWOOD, Tenn., (July 28, 2022) –
C Spire has named an executive team to guide its expansion in Nashville, Tennessee and across the state, and promoted technology veteran Allen McIntosh, who has more than 20 years of telecommunications industry experience, to lead the charge as managing director for Tennessee.
Joining McIntosh to lead the Nashville office are Derek Usner and Risher Robertson, who serve as commercial sales directors in the marketplace. C Spire opened its Nashville office in 2020, and it has grown to nearly 50 employees.

“We have established a dynamic team to lead our growth in the market, which offers great opportunity to deliver world-class, customer-inspired technology across Tennessee,” said Terrell Knight, vice president of commercial sales for C Spire Business. “Allen and his team have the vision, experience and expertise to help businesses operate more efficiently in one of the hottest markets in the U.S.”
C Spire identified Nashville and Tennessee as growth markets for the company and has made significant investments in recent years to build the brand in the marketplace. Earlier this year, it became the official technology partner of the Nashville Soccer Club, and opened the C Spire Captain’s Club at GEODIS Park, a premium seating area at the club’s new stadium, that highlights the most historic team captains from around the globe. C Spire is also a sponsor of the Nashville Technology Council and is active in numerous business and community organizations across the state.
“Nashville and Tennessee are very important markets to C Spire, and we are deeply committed to its growth and success,” McIntosh said. “Nashville is one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation, with a thriving tech sector, booming business and corporate environment and dynamic quality of life. I am excited to serve with Derek, Risher and our team to provide innovative hardware, software and managed services to the marketplace.” McIntosh, who previously served as senior vice president and general manager of C Spire Business, joined the company in 2003 as a manager of voice and data operations.
