Leadership History
4 leaders · Full leadership timeline
Crown Castle owns more than 40,000 U.S. towers and leases those structures to wireless carriers that need dense coverage and capacity. Its 2025 reporting separates the continuing tower business from the fiber and small-cell assets that are expected to be sold.
Crown Castle makes money primarily by leasing space and capacity on U.S. towers to wireless carriers, with T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless representing the large majority of revenue. The fiber and small-cell assets remain in the company until closing, but FY2025 reporting treats that Fiber Business as discontinued operations.
President, Chief Executive Officer and Director
Appointed President and CEO effective September 15, 2025 to lead Crown Castle's transition toward a simpler pure-play U.S. tower model.
Interim President and CEO; EVP and Chief Transformation Officer
Served as interim CEO after Steven Moskowitz's departure and then became Chief Transformation Officer to oversee completion of the Fiber Business sale.
President and Chief Executive Officer
Led during the initial strategic review period before the board moved to another leadership transition in March 2025.
Chief Executive Officer
Oversaw the REIT conversion era and the broader tower-plus-fiber strategy that shaped Crown Castle's prior decade.
The main risks are carrier spending cycles, tenant concentration, higher interest rates, execution risk around the $8.5B Fiber Business sale, and workforce reductions tied to the tower-only operating model.

He became President and CEO effective September 15, 2025.
Daniel K. Schlanger served as interim CEO after Steven J. Moskowitz left in March 2025.
Leadership is focused on closing the Fiber Business sale, reducing costs, and operating as a pure-play U.S. tower company.
