Alcymer Vieira: Driving Innovation, Diversity, and Excellence in Telecom

Women in the telecommunications industry are increasingly focusing on empowerment and diversity. They are overcoming traditional challenges to change the sector for the better. Despite facing historical obstacles, women are stepping into important roles and using transformational leadership styles to motivate and engage their teams. Organizations like Women4Tech support mentorship and collaboration, enhancing the influence of women leaders in this field. Overall, women in leadership positions in telecom are vital for promoting inclusivity and driving innovation, significantly contributing to the industry’s progress.

Alcymer Vieira, the CEO of Fiberlog, is a creative and strategic leader with over six years of experience in the telecom industry. As a motivational speaker and businesswoman, she constantly seeks ways to improve processes and increase efficiency. Known for her organization and determination, Alcymer values strong connections and partnerships, which have been key to her success. She describes herself as a purpose-driven CEO dedicated to building businesses that create value and inspire others. Alcymer believes that leadership is not just about having a vision; it also involves execution, resilience, and helping others grow alongside you.

From Novice to CEO

“If you had told me a few years ago that I’d be leading a telecom company as CEO, I might have laughed—but life has its own way of pushing you toward your true calling,” Alcymer reflects.

Alcymer Vieira started her career in telecommunications without any prior experience. She entered the field with a strong desire to learn and a belief that resilience and preparation can open many doors. Her curiosity motivated her to join the telecom sector, where she saw an opportunity to be part of something significant—an industry that creates the invisible connections that unite the world. What has kept her in this field is a sense of purpose; she aims to make a difference by focusing on people rather than just goals and numbers.

Over time, Alcymer’s leadership style has evolved. She learned to delegate and trust her team, shifting from doing the work herself to inspiring and shaping other leaders. She believes that a true leader’s strength lies in bringing out the potential in others. Today, her leadership is guided by empathy, strategic decision-making, and a strong sense of responsibility, as the success of Fiberlog reflects the success of everyone who shares this vision with her.

Overcoming Obstacles

One of the biggest challenges Alcymer Vieira faced has been gaining trust in a male-dominated industry while building a company from the ground up during uncertain times. She had to prove—not just to others, but to herself—that preparation, vision, and resilience are more powerful than stereotypes.

Another significant challenge has been managing rapid growth while ensuring quality. For Alcymer, scaling a company isn’t just about increasing numbers; it’s about creating the right team, maintaining a strong culture, and staying true to the company’s mission. The team has dealt with tight deadlines, changing regulations, and high client expectations. Throughout these challenges, Alcymer learned to lead with clarity, surround herself with people who are smarter than she is, and make decisions focused on long-term value.

Alcymer Vieira often says, “When things get tough, you don’t shrink—you expand.” She believes that challenges do not stop them; instead, they help them grow. Fiberlog stands as proof of that belief.

Strategic Success

Fiberlog’s main strategy is simple and effective: know your people, understand the market, and stay ahead of the competition. It doesn’t just provide services; it offers solutions. By actively listening to its clients and team, it uses feedback as a driving force for innovation.

The company has invested nearly a quarter of its development budget into personal and professional growth because a strong team leads to a strong company. It focuses on nurturing talent from within, promoting based on merit, and fostering a culture of ownership and accountability.

Another important aspect of its strategy is offering turnkey services designed to meet the real needs of the market. From high-level design to permitting, quality control, and drone fielding, Fiberlog provides comprehensive and flexible solutions that make it a trusted partner rather than just a vendor.

“Growth for us is not accidental—it’s intentional, strategic, and backed by purpose,” Alcymer Vieira says.

A Mindset for Success

At Fiberlog, nearly a quarter of its investment budget is dedicated to growth and innovation, but the focus goes beyond just technology. The company believes that true innovation begins with people. That’s why it invests significant resources in developing its team through workshops with psychologists, coaches, and industry experts. It is not just building skills; it is also fostering mindset, confidence, and leadership.

Technology, however, plays a vital role in its development. Fiberlog uses drones in fielding operations and implements new tools to improve design accuracy and project delivery. It is always testing and finding better ways to serve its clients.

For Fiberlog, research and development (R&D) is not just a department; it is a mindset. It emphasizes staying curious, humble, and committed to continuous learning. “Innovation is not a onetime achievement; it is a daily commitment,” Alcymer Vieira says.

Commitment to Diversity and Growth

The company’s growth story is one of bold ambition backed by hard work. Since its founding in 2020, Fiberlog has expanded from a small team of 3 to over 47 employees, including more than 20 active designers, a complete quality control department, and a strong management structure.

One point of pride for Alcymer Vieira is that the majority leadership team is made up of women. This is not just a diversity initiative; it reflects the fact that these women have earned their positions. In an industry where female leadership is still uncommon, Fiberlog’s growth has been driven by talent, merit, and performance, regardless of gender.

In the past three years, Fiberlog has achieved significant milestones:

• Designed over 1 million units of FTTX
• Covered more than 600 miles of core and feeder routes
• Expanded into states such as California, Florida, Texas, Illinois, and West Virginia

Its revenue has grown from five figures to over $1 million annually, and the company aims to maintain an expansion rate of 5–10% each year. For Fiberlog, growth is not just a goal; it is the standard.

Expanding Capabilities

Fiberlog is always thinking ahead. While some of its plans are still in the early stages, Alcymer Vieira emphasizes that they are not just focused on growth—the company aims to elevate its services. The goal is to evolve from being a trusted engineering partner to becoming a full-service solution provider for the entire lifecycle of telecom infrastructure.

This evolution means expanding its turnkey capabilities to offer more integrated, end-to-end services. Its aim is that clients can come to them with a vision, and Fiberlog can deliver it from start to finish, seamlessly.

It is also strengthening internal processes and training to ensure that its engineering standards keep pace with the complexity of its projects. Alcymer acknowledges that this approach is bold, but the company embraces boldness. She believes that those who take big risks are the ones who achieve great success. 

Significant Achievements 

One of the most significant moments in Alcymer’s journey as CEO was when she signed a high-stakes exclusive contract with one of the top utility construction companies. This contract gave Fiberlog full responsibility for a county-wide project in Miami-Dade, and it changed everything for the company. It marked the transition of Fiberlog from being seen as “the new company with potential” to becoming a serious player in the industry.

However, the real achievement came after the contract was signed. Fiberlog grew from 18 to 47 employees, established a solid quality control department, built a strong engineering team, and promoted talent from within. Alcymer Vieira has enjoyed watching her team evolve into leaders.

“I absolutely love being CEO—but what I enjoy the most is inspiring others, especially my own team,” she says. It is fulfilling for her to see the team reflected in the dream they have built together, to watch their leadership develop under her guidance, and to realize that they have accomplished so much in such a short time. Sometimes, she still finds it hard to believe.

A Culture of Opportunity

“Diversity at Fiberlog isn’t just a checkbox—it’s part of our DNA,” says Alcymer Vieira. The company has built a team where different perspectives are welcomed and celebrated. The average age of their team is around 30 years, and many of its professionals started with no prior industry experience. This approach reflects its belief in developing talent from the ground up, focusing on values, curiosity, and potential.

Currently, 4 out of 6 members of Fiberlog’s upper management team are women, including the Director of Operations and both Project Managers. This focus on gender diversity is not just about gender; it is about merit. These women have earned their positions by growing within the company and consistently bringing excellence and vision to their roles.

Fiberlog has created an environment where anyone, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to rise, as long as they are willing to learn, lead, and dream big alongside the team.

The Future of Telecom

The telecom industry is changing faster than ever, and the future will belong to those who can adapt, innovate, and lead with purpose. There is a strong push towards smart infrastructure, 5G expansion, and greater use of AI and automation, and Fiberlog is positioning itself at the center of this transformation.

Alcymer Vieira believes that the future will require more multidisciplinary teams and turnkey solutions from partners who can manage everything from design to execution seamlessly. That’s why Fiberlog’s vision includes expanding its engineering capabilities and getting involved in the construction side of telecom. This approach will allow it to control quality and timing from start to finish.

Additionally, Alcymer envisions a future where human insight and emotional intelligence are as important as technical skills. Companies that combine technology with empathy and excellence will be the ones that truly reshape the industry. And to give a hint: Fiberlog is ready for this future.

Turning Technology into a Superpower

“We’re not trying to be the cool kids in tech just for the sake of it—but let’s be real: you can’t lead the future with yesterday’s tools,” says Alcymer Vieira. At Fiberlog, the team embraces innovation in a way that feels natural to them. Whether it’s using drones for fielding, streamlining permit timelines with automated workflows, or using data for smarter real-time decisions, they are constantly integrating technology to work smarter, not harder.

Fiberlog is also getting ready for what 5G really means—things like ultra-connectivity, faster design cycles, and more complex infrastructure. It sees AI and IoT as powerful allies rather than threats. The key is knowing how to combine technology with talent, and that’s where Fiberlog excels.

After all, anyone can purchase software, but not everyone knows how to turn it into a superpower. Fiberlog makes technology more human, and that is what sets it apart.

Vision for Leadership in Telecom

Alcymer’s long-term vision for Fiberlog is clear: she aims to make the company a leading force in telecom, known not just for what it does, but for how it does it. She wants clients to see Fiberlog not merely as vendors, but as partners who provide vision, agility, and results at every stage of a project, from idea to execution.

Fiberlog is moving towards becoming a full-service, end-to-end provider, expanding its capabilities in design and eventually in construction as well. This shift will change the way turnkey telecom solutions are delivered in the industry.

Above all, Alcymer Vieira wants Fiberlog to remain a company that empowers people. She envisions a workplace where young professionals can grow into leaders, where innovation flows from every level, and where the company culture is as strong as the services it offers.

“How do I plan to shape the future?” she reflects, “by leading with vision, building with care, and never settling for mediocrity. Because average is not part of Fiberlog’s DNA.”

An Open Letter to Young Women Aspiring to Lead in the Telecom Industry

Dear Young Women Leaders,

Don’t wait until you feel completely ready—take action anyway. Confidence isn’t something you’re born with; it’s something you develop by showing up, even when you’re afraid. I became a Project Manager not because I had all the answers, but because I believed in myself enough to find solutions.

This industry needs your voice, your vision, and your unique perspective. So stop waiting for permission—claim your place at the table. And if there isn’t a seat available? Bring your own.

Also, remember to lead in a way that feels true to you. Lead with your passion, your instincts, and your intelligence. That’s your superpower.

Success isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being brave, staying curious, and knowing your worth. So be bold. Be loud. And never forget: you belong here.
