Founded six years ago by Sierra Smart, the company has quickly established itself as a reliable and skilled service provider in the Charlotte area.
As a 51% women-owned business, Smart Fiber & Communications stands out in the male-dominated construction industry.

This dedication to craft and quality has resulted in a loyal customer base and steady growth.

Despite facing challenges and misconceptions about her role as a woman business owner, Sierra has proven her expertise and leadership skills. In 2023, the company celebrated its fifth anniversary by doubling its revenue from the previous year, a remarkable achievement considering Sierra was pregnant at the time.
