Michael T. Prior has been the CEO of ATN International since 2006. His journey in the telecommunications world started when he joined the company as CFO in 2003. He's got a strong background in finance and law, having practiced at big firms like Perkins Coie and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton in places like Seattle, London, and New York. He’s got a J.D. summa cum laude from Brooklyn Law School and a BA from Vassar College. Prior's leadership style is tied to performance metrics that guide his decisions on bonuses and stock options. Over the years, he has consistently led ATN through evolving markets, and his compensation reflects that success – earning over $1.3 million in 2023 alone. He’s involved with other companies under ATN International too, like their subsidiaries GT&T and ION. Notably, he is the son of Cornelius B. Prior, a former CEO of the company, which adds an interesting layer to his leadership role. Throughout his time, he’s dealt with stock fluctuations, showing his investment savvy. As CEO, he is not just guiding a network provider but is also deeply connected to a family legacy in the telecom industry.
