Grand Prairie, Texas — January 23, 2026 —As Alairo Solutions Group, a Lone Star Communications company, looks ahead to 2026, the organization is taking a deliberate step to strengthen how it aligns strategy and execution to scale advanced solutions and deliver greater value for customers.
As part of this alignment, Chris Andrus, Chief Strategy Officer for Alairo Solutions Group, Lone Star Communications, and ProMobix, will focus his day‑to‑day efforts on ensuring strategy and execution remain tightly connected. As part of this shift, Andrus will transition from leading Lone Star’s Central Texas sales region to leading the company’s Professional Services organization, now operating as the Advanced Solutions Group.
In this role, Andrus will work closely with Joel Coombs and the Advanced Solutions Group team to deliver higher‑value, solution‑focused engagements that deepen and extend customer relationships. This evolution strengthens Professional Services as a strategic complement to the core sales organization—providing the expertise and structure required to support complex, multi‑solution environments while enabling scalable, repeatable delivery models.
“As our customers’ environments become more complex, it’s critical that strategy and execution remain tightly aligned,” said Jeff Richard, the President of Alairo Solutions. “This leadership alignment enables us to scale advanced solutions more effectively while maintaining the disciplined execution our customers rely on.”
Marquis Woodard, Chief Sales Officer, will continue to lead Lone Star Communications’ core sales organization and will oversee the process to fill the Central Texas sales leadership role. Under his leadership, the sales team delivered another record year in 2025, driven by strong customer relationships, operational discipline, and a growing ecosystem of trusted technology partners.
Together, this leadership model reflects a unified strategy: leveraging long‑standing customer relationships, deep solution expertise, and industry‑leading partnerships to drive sustained growth. Core sales execution continues to build momentum, while Professional Services and organizations like Alairo help extend value through advanced, solution‑driven engagements.
This structure allows Alairo Solutions Group and its affiliated organizations to support enterprise‑grade deployments, expand solution adoption, and deliver long‑term outcomes—while maintaining a scalable national approach that adapts to evolving customer needs.
Chris Andrus and Marquis Woodard will continue to collaborate closely as responsibilities evolve. Their partnership has been a key driver of organizational growth and remains central to the forward strategy across sales, services, and advanced solutions.
The organization is performing strongly today, and this alignment establishes a durable foundation for growth beyond any single product, partner, or geography.
