Exhibit 99.1
Elauwit Connection Appoints Nick Jones
as Chief Information Officer and Chief Operating Officer
Columbia, South Carolina - (Newsfile
Corp. - June 17, 2026) - Elauwit Connection, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELWT) (“Elauwit” or the “Company”), a national managed
services provider of turnkey broadband and property-wide WiFi networks serving multifamily, student housing, and senior living communities,
today announced the appointment of Nick Jones as Chief Information Officer and Chief Operating Officer.
“Nick brings deep experience providing
managed services critical to the guest experience across a broad portfolio of hotel properties, combining entertainment, connectivity,
infrastructure and management into a comprehensive platform solution,” said Dan McDonough, Executive Chairman. “His work integrating
advanced technology services to create property-wide, scalable, future ready environments is a perfect corollary to Elauwit’s model.”
Jones was previously Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer at World Cinema, Inc., a leading managed technology, digital infrastructure and in-room entertainment
provider for the hospitality, multifamily, and healthcare industries, serving more than 8,000 properties and more than 1 million rooms
across more than 200 brands. He was previously Chief Executive Officer of NJT, Inc, an outsourced managed services provider, and a Network
Engineer at Schlumberger, First Edge Sornson and Castle Dental.
Jones will replace Rick Alder, who served
as Chief Operations Officer through Elauwit’s initial public offering phase. Alder played an instrumental role in advancing the Company’s
strategic objectives and strengthening operations, helping Elauwit to achieve significant milestones, enhance operational performance,
and position itself for continued growth and success.
“It has been an incredible privilege to serve alongside such talented and dedicated team members,” said Alder. “I am deeply
grateful for the trust, support, and partnerships I have experienced throughout my time with Elauwit. Together, we have accomplished
remarkable things, and I believe that the organization is well-positioned for a bright and successful future.”
“I personally asked Rick to help guide Elauwit during a critical time in our lifecycle, and he accomplished that task with excellence,”
said McDonough. “He has been a valued member of our leadership team and a good friend who departs having made a lasting and profound
impact on our organization. We want to thank Rick for his tireless commitment and leadership and wish him unprecedented success in his
future endeavors.”
Under Alder’s tenure, Elauwit reported significant progress across multiple performance metrics including:
· Expanded
to 176 sites and nearly 40,000 units in 15 months while Elauwit was going public.
· Improved
company overall Google customer satisfaction significantly to 4.4 stars — an excellent
data point in the world of cable companies and ISPs.
· Improved
customer support “one-touch” call resolution from 70% to an astounding 87%.
· Produced
a comprehensive product catalog including introduction of new retail business products at
multi-purpose properties.
