SIB Fixed Cost Reduction, 796 Meeting Street, Charleston, 29403
Join us on Tuesday, October 19th as we host Kevin Flounders, CEO of SIB Fixed Cost Reduction at their office at 796 Meeting Street.
Kevin Flounders joined SIB Fixed Cost Reduction in November 2018 after more than 25 years in the telecom industry. His decades of leadership success drive SIB’s growth by continually improving operations, employee retention and business development while expanding SIB’s service offerings. Kevin’s focus at SIB revolves around client and employee engagement.
Kevin’s telecom career began at 19 when his father, who owned a one-man residential cabling company, fell ill. Kevin took over the company and grew it into Comstar Technologies, a technology integration firm focused on VoIP, data, and physical Infrastructure. Comstar grew from $136K in revenue to $50 million through organic growth, acquisitions and strategic partnerships. He attributes his success in part to building a thriving company culture with high employee satisfaction, loyalty and retention. Comstar continues to grow as a full-service provider of business cloud and onsite phone systems, IT services, cabling, A/V and security systems for clients across the US, Canada, Mexico, South Africa and China. Kevin sold Comstar Technologies in 2018 and now serves on its board of directors.
Special thanks to our friends and partners:

- Zing Zheng for capturing the moment
- Slice Company for the pies
- Frothy Beard Brewing for the brews
- Tambu Wines for the vino

DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; 31 days to emphasize the importance of diversity across our global startup ecosystem, and what it means to all of us. We are so excited to take this time to recognize and amplify the voices of leaders in our globally diverse communities, providing a platform for those that may not have been heard previously.
