Roberts, who joined UTOPIA Fiber in May brings decades of public- and private-sector financial experience to the interlocal agency at a time when UTOPIA is scaling quickly, and supply chains and financial markets are causing heartburn. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re on our toes, there\u2019s a lot going on at Team UTOPIA,\u201d said Roberts. \u201cWe\u2019re building in over a dozen cities and soon to be in four states. Inflation is causing interest rate pressures, and inventory issues mean supplies are costing more. My first big task is to manage costs effectively in the current environment and make sure we\u2019re managing risk with strong take rates in new cities,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roberts says that he\u2019s developing processes to help UTOPIA Fiber scale faster\u2014both within Utah and in other parts of the country\u2014but it\u2019s the bond market that has been commanding much of Roberts\u2019 attention recently: \u201cThe bond market is crazy at the moment and it\u2019s been volatile. Investors have been hesitant, so the UTOPIA bonds that continue to sell are pretty big feathers in our cap,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to joining UTOPIA Fiber, Roberts served as Brigham City\u2019s Administrator, andpreviously served as the city\u2019s Finance Director. Roberts cut his teeth as Controller for Transportation Alliance Bank, and at EY in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been involved with UTOPIA Fiber since I began working in Brigham City. I sat on UTOPIA\u2019s Board prior to becoming an employee. I\u2019m a UTOPIA Fiber customer at my home in Perry, so I truly live the brand. In a nutshell, I know UTOPIA Fiber inside and out and I couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to be here today as the agency\u2019s CFO,\u201d he added. An avid outdoorsman, Roberts spends his free time enjoying all that Utah has to offer including camping, hiking, and enjoying his childrens\u2019 sporting events.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roberts Brings Decades of Public- and Private-Sector Financial Experience to the Interlocal Agency<\/p>","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":13204,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[106,112,357],"tags":[97,98,138,104,173,165,130,180,131,181,110,166,182,119,120,121,122,124,125,170],"class_list":["post-10831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-developments-at-utopia","category-industry-news","category-utopia-fiber-news","tag-1-gig","tag-10-gigs","tag-138","tag-broadband","tag-fast-internet","tag-fastest-internet","tag-fiber","tag-fiber-installation","tag-fiber-optic","tag-fiber-to-the-home","tag-gbps","tag-isp","tag-mbps","tag-utah","tag-utah-fast-internet","tag-utah-internet","tag-utopia","tag-utopia-fiber","tag-utopia-fiber-in-my-area","tag-utopia-fiber-install"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utopiafiber.dev\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utopiafiber.dev\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utopiafiber.dev\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utopiafiber.dev\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utopiafiber.dev\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10831"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.utopiafiber.dev\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10831\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13206,"href":"https:\/\/www.utopiafiber.dev\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10831\/revisions\/13206"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utopiafiber.dev\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utopiafiber.dev\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utopiafiber.dev\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utopiafiber.dev\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
