General Manager
Mohawk Networks
Bombay, New York, United States
As the leader of Mohawk Networks, the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe’s broadband infrastructure, Mohawk Networks, LLC, Allyson Mitchell possesses deep, practical experience in the operational and financial realities of the economics of rural connectivity.
Allyson navigates the unique challenges of the Mohawk territory of Akwesasne, a community that straddles the US-Canadian border along the shores of the St. Lawrence River. This geopolitical reality provides unparalleled insight into cross-jurisdictional infrastructure development.
Mohawk Networks is the Managing Partner of the Aecon-Mohawk Networks Joint Venture, an Indigenous-led partnership focused on delivering middle-mile and last-mile broadband to unserved Indigenous communities across the U.S.
Allyson's mission is clear: to deploy and sustain future-ready connectivity. She demonstrates how closing the digital divide and securing digital sovereignty directly translates into vital local economic development by connecting the "forgotten mile."
