25 Year Anniversary Q&A: Robert Bianco

Name: Robert Bianco Title: Vice President/General Manager Company Name: tw telecom Q: The approximate number of years you have been a subscriber and/or how the NYREJ has been a benefit to you and/or your business. A: I have been a subscriber and avid reader of New York Real Estate Journal (NYREJ) since 2012. I consider NYREJ to be the best commercial real estate publication available to not only the CRE industry, but to the telecom one as well. The beauty of this publication to tw telecom is that it allows us to stay well informed on the issues affecting commercial real estate and technology in and around the N.Y.C. region; and to be an active, vocal part of a community that cares about bettering our city through improved access to quality broadband infrastructure. Q: The approximate year you discovered the NYREJ and what business you were in at the time: A: I first discovered NYREJ in 2012, as I was working at tw telecom as vice president/general manager. Q: Your most memorable "15 minutes of fame" in the NYREJ: A: My first fame to claim in NYREJ was in 2012 (http://nyrej.com/60152), when I was featured for discussing my greatest professional accomplishment and notable project that had occurred for that year. I am also very proud of what ensued after that point: In 2013, I was named Executive of the Month (http://nyrej.com/60862), and my company, tw telecom, was Company of the Month (http://nyrej.com/68148) in the same year. Throughout 2014, I have provided my own industry perspectives in several featured articles.
