Mo Honarkar
• CEO AND PRESIDENT, VERIZON 4G WIRELESS
Age: 52
Status: Single, with two grown daughters, ages 22 and 20. Says Honarkar: “They are studying business (both also work at 4G), and I’m hoping someday they will retire Dad.”
Favorite phone: HTC Incredible
Texter or caller: Primarily a caller
Stroke of business genius: Named his company “4G Wireless” before the term was widely known
Life changer: When Honarkar hit 50, he decided to take better care of himself for his family and company. He hired a personal trainer, works out each morning and watches what he eats.
Weekend sailor: On the weekend, you’ll likely find Honarkar entertaining friends on his boat.
Mo Honarkar has gone from zero to 100 4G Wireless stores in just four years, establishing him as one of the industry’s premier Verizon Wireless retailers.
Honarkar’s company now employs 550 people and has more than 100,000 customers. And the Irvine resident predicts those numbers will double by the end of 2011. “Our stores provide customers with a one-stop shop to see, touch and learn about Verizon Wireless products and services,” Honarkar says.
Honarkar credits his company’s rapid expansion to the solid management team he built by recruiting top talent from the wireless, messaging, telecommunications and Internet industries. This has allowed the 4G Wireless stores to stay on top of the fast-changing cell phone world.
