Mosaic Technologies is proud to have four incredible women recognized within the company: Board of Directors Kelly Hoff and Kelly Frisle, Chief Financial and Regulatory Officer Linda Garbelman, and Chief Human Resources Officer Tammy Emerson.
Kelly Hoff has been a trailblazer for diversity on Mosaic’s Board of Directors, becoming the first woman appointed to the board in 2002.

She, along with her peers, has played a key role in the strategic acquisitions of HomeTech by Mosaic and Protechtors, which have expanded the company’s product and services portfolio.
As the second-ever woman elected to the Mosaic Board of Directors, Kelly Frisle has served for 10 years, representing the Prairie Farm Exchange and providing exceptional leadership and marketing insight. In her role as Vice President, Consumer Segment Marketing Manager for Johnson Financial Group, Kelly has contributed invaluable guidance in Mosaic’s acquisitions and rebranding efforts across four companies: Mosaic Technologies, HomeTech by Mosaic, MTech Construction, and Protechtors. With over 25 years of marketing experience, her leadership and contributions have supported Mosaic Technologies in expanding its product and services portfolio, ensuring the company remains competitive and innovative.

She has overseen corporate restructuring, equipment categorization, and procurement logistics. Through Linda’s financial oversight and modeling, she has significantly contributed to Mosaic’s success in fiber expansions across five counties and sixteen communities in Northwestern Wisconsin.
Over her 25-year tenure, Tammy Emerson has grown with the company to become an executive leader whose excellence has made a significant impact. Her passion for workplace culture and organizational growth has led to her most recent role as Chief Human Resources Officer.
