About
Darren Mass is a telecommunications entrepreneur and business advisor best known for founding MASS Communications in 2007, a New York based telecommunications network management company that he scaled to an eight figure exit.
Starting MASS Communications during the 2008 financial crisis, Darren grew the company into one of Inc. Magazine's 500 fastest growing private companies, making the Inc. 5000 list for four consecutive years.
In 2018, Darren sold MASS Communications to Windstream Enterprise for $40 million. Following the sale, he briefly served as President of Resale for Windstream's Enterprise & Wholesale business unit before co-founding Brand Built, a business and personal branding community for entrepreneurs and professionals.
Today, through Brand Built and his advisory work, Darren helps founders build scalable companies, leverage Linkedin for business growth, and position for strategic exits.”
"Building toward an exit means knowing your finish line from day one. You can't build an effective company without identifying what your ultimate plan is. That clarity of vision allows you to engineer every decision toward that goal, just like designing a network."
