Maggie Hallbach has been named senior vice president of Verizon Public Sector by Verizon Business. She will be responsible for the company’s federal, state, municipal, and education customers, as well as Verizon Frontline public safety customers.

Hallbach worked with Verizon for 25 years, most recently as the vice president of business development and strategic sales for Verizon Public Sector, where she was responsible for conceiving, planning, and capturing strategic opportunities.
