CHARLOTTE, NC — Mark Boggs, a native Charlotte resident and data sales manager for Verizon Wireless, has been named to the company's President's Cabinet for ranking in the top one percent nationally in sales for the nation's most reliable wireless network.

"At Verizon Wireless, we encourage our employees to focus on matching our products and services with customers needs. Mark exemplifies what it means to put customers first and is highly valued by his customers and us."
