HNM Systems taps a new president to steer Transform 2026 push across telecom and energy

A new leader at the wheel as HNM pushes Transform 2026

HNM Systems has named Todd Crick as president to drive its Transform 2026 growth plan, the company said. The move signals that HNM wants to shift from project work toward bigger, repeatable technology and service offerings for telecom and energy customers. The immediate message: HNM is aiming to scale its tech-enabled professional services and turn its existing engineering and field work into a broader services business.

The appointment comes as HNM positions itself between traditional engineering contractors and pure software vendors. By elevating a president focused on growth, the company is saying it intends to be more aggressive in selling packaged services, building recurring revenue and expanding partnerships with network operators and energy firms.

Why Todd Crick fits the job

Todd Crick arrives with a mix of technology, consulting and telecom experience that matches HNM’s stated aims. His background includes senior roles where he led teams selling technology services to large network operators and utility companies. He has overseen both professional services and managed services businesses, which means he knows how to turn one-off projects into ongoing contracts.

Colleagues and company materials point to his experience running sales, operations and client delivery teams at firms that sit at the intersection of software and field services. That combination matters for HNM because the company sells services that must be delivered on the ground — from network rollouts to equipment maintenance — while also integrating software that helps customers manage assets and data.

In short, HNM appears to have chosen Crick for his ability to scale teams, standardize offerings and craft commercial deals that blend software, field technicians and longer-term service contracts.

What Transform 2026 will mean in practical terms

Transform 2026 is HNM’s roadmap to grow faster by packaging its technical know-how into repeatable services. Practically, that will mean creating service products that sell to telecom carriers and energy companies rather than bidding only on individual projects.

For customers, this could look like bundled offerings: monitoring and software tools plus on-site maintenance and rapid-response teams. For HNM, it means investing in product design, sales playbooks, account management and delivery processes that can be repeated across many clients and regions.

As president, Crick will likely be responsible for shaping those offers, building the sales and operations teams that sell and deliver them, and forging partner deals with equipment makers and systems integrators. He will also be expected to track and hit commercial milestones tied to recurring revenue growth rather than one-off engineering wins.

Why this matters in telecom and energy services today

Telecom and energy companies are buying differently. Carriers want faster network upgrades and more automation; energy firms need tighter asset monitoring and digital tools to manage grids. Both markets reward suppliers who can combine software with reliable field work.

The service market is crowded with niche contractors, global integrators and software-first firms. Leadership changes matter because scaling services requires tight coordination between sales, delivery and product teams — and that rarely happens without a leader focused on growth and standardization.

Put simply, a firm with the right leader can convert steady demand for upgrades and maintenance into predictable, recurring business. A wrong move leaves a company chasing projects with thin margins.

What to watch next for HNM, its clients and partners

Near term, expect HNM to announce new packaged offers, pilot programs with key customers, and hires in sales and delivery. Watch for signals like named customer pilots, multi-year service agreements, or partnerships with equipment vendors — those will show if Transform 2026 is moving from plan to execution.

For clients, a clearer service menu can make procurement simpler and speed deployment. For partners, HNM’s push could open new joint-selling opportunities if the company standardizes interfaces and pricing. Operationally, successful scaling will require HNM to tighten project margins and improve predictability.
