As Director of Business Development, Grant Aasen leads the go-to-market strategy and growth initiatives for Southeast Networks, helping organizations align their technology investments with real business outcomes. Drawing on a background in advanced technical solutions and business consulting, Grant works closely with executive teams, IT leaders, and operations stakeholders to design integrated approaches that blend managed IT services, enterprise networking, connectivity, and security into a single, accountable partnership.
Grant’s experience spans both the technical and business sides of the house—he’s just as comfortable discussing architecture and performance as he is talking financial models, risk, and growth strategy.
He specializes in simplifying multi-site, multi-vendor environments into clear roadmaps that make operational and economic sense, using a consultative, relationship-first approach to ensure recommendations are grounded in each client’s industry, risk profile, and long-term goals.
At Southeast Networks, Grant oversees new market development, strategic partnerships, and long-term client engagement, ensuring customers experience consistent value from initial discovery through implementation and ongoing support. He is particularly passionate about helping growing organizations move away from “good enough” IT and carrier arrangements and toward resilient, scalable technology foundations that support their next stage of growth. Grant holds a degree in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech, where he developed a strong foundation in systems thinking, process optimization, and data-driven decision-making—skills he uses every day to help clients get more from their technology investments.
Outside of work, Grant is known for investing in people—mentoring colleagues, collaborating closely with partners, and staying active in his local business and community networks.
