F.T. Ogletree
I was born in Atlanta, Ga but I now reside in Macon, Ga where I have been for the past 13 years. I worked for Powertel which is now T-Mobile. I assisted in launching GSM cellular in the Middle Georgia area. Then my career path took me to ITC Deltacom, which is a CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier). I was responsible for maintaining bundled services for customers e.g. dedicated T1 lines, long distance and local phone service. I have also worked as a department manager for Mercantile where I closely monitored sales, reduced shrinkage rate, and increased profitability.
I have an undergraduate degree in Business Administration from Savannah State University and a Master's in Business Administration.
I am a member of Delta Sigma Pi Professional Business Fraternity.
