TowerCo was founded in 2004 by industry veterans Richard Byrne, Chief Executive Officer, and Scot Lloyd, Chief Operating Officer, along with Tailwind Capital. They envisioned a pure-play tower company with the straightforward mission of meeting the infrastructure needs of wireless service providers. TowerCo is the fifth largest independent tower company, owning and leasing more that 3,000 communication towers in 47 states and Puerto Rico and has exclusive contracts to build towers directly for carriers throughout the country.
