Leadership Team

Troy J. McCracken                     

Chief Executive Officer                                       

Troy founded Spectrum in 1999 with the vision of delivering unparalleled telecommunications management services to small and medium sized businesses within southwestern Ohio. Since its inception, Spectrum has expanded its geographic market on a national level and has added large enterprises to its growing clientele base.

Troy excelled as a sales professional for several years while at Cable & Wireless and Cincinnati Bell. Adept at networking, he developed a sales channel that presented opportunities for significant revenue growth. He then leveraged those loyal relationships to develop a service template that sustains Spectrum’s dynamic business model. After ten years of significant growth under Troy's leadership, Spectrum has evolved into a nationally-recognized telecommunications lifecycle management (TLM) company that develops and implements telecommunications expense management (TEM) solutions. Much of the company's success can be attributed to Troy's vision and his ability to foresee changes within the industry and then design solutions that would ultimately benefit Spectrum's clients. TrueVue is one such innovation, which is now the hallmark of Spectrum's comprehensive service offering.

Troy's passion for developing Spectrum into an exemplary value-added service provider is evidenced by his longstanding commitment to Vistage International and the Chief Executive Boards International. He is also an active board member of Elizabeth's New Life Center, a charitable organization dedicated to prenatal care, and various other committees within the community. Troy is a graduate of The University of Dayton, where he lettered in varsity basketball while earning a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a major in Marketing. An accomplished youth basketball coach, he resides in Hilton Head, SC with his wife and six young boys.
