LEADERSHIP
TEAM

President & CEO

BRIAN
WAINWRIGHT

The Wireless Experience started with a single location in Manahawkin, NJ, but Brian Wainwright’s vision for the Company was always grander. For over 25 years he has guided a team that transformed TWE from a mom & pop storefront to one of the East Coast’s largest AT&T retailers. Now boasting over 90 locations and 400+ employees, Brian has been the guiding force behind that transformation. The pillars of the TWE mission statement – accountability, community, integrity, loyalty, and trust – come from Brian himself. That philosophy has expanded across seven states thanks to his ability to see the potential in overlooked markets, manage smart and strategic growth, and inspire his team to meet aggressive goals, all while staying focused on TWE’s core values. But like TWE itself, Brian rarely looks back on his accomplishments. His focus is on the future.

Joseph’s track record of success shows why he’s the man for the job. As an account manager for AT&T, he managed a third-party sales channel of over 40 retail stores. His strategic vision brought him to The Wireless Experience, where he initially served as a District Manager in our New England market.

An honorably discharged nuclear reactor operator with the United States Navy, Robert spent six-plus years honing his skills in the military before becoming an invaluable part of The Wireless Experience team.
