Steven B. Dodge gained his initial business experience as a VP for Bank of Boston. From 1971 to 1978, he served as the VP of commercial lending. During this time, Steven B. Dodge built the largest CATV portfolio among national banks.

Dodge left Bank of Boston in 1978 in order to found a new company, American CableSystems Corporation. He believed there was an opportunity in the nascent cable television industry to raise external capital and develop a cable company of scale. Steven B. Dodge assumed the roles of CEO, founder, and leading shareholder. ACS ultimately fared well in the cable TV industry, emerging among the industry leaders in revenue per subscriber and revenue per home passed. In 1985 Dodge took ACS public, and by 1988 ACS had developed into one of the top 20 cable television companies in the United States as measured by subscribers. In that same year, sensing an opportunity to maximize shareholder value and return on investment, Dodge orchestrated the merger of ACS into Amos Hostetter's Continental Cable in a transaction valued at $450 million.

Encouraged by the success of ACS and looking for a fresh entrepreneurial opportunity in a different industry, Dodge moved into the radio broadcasting business by founding American RadioSystems Corporation. ARS also grew quickly under Dodge's leadership, and at a point in time ARS ranked as the number two radio broadcaster nationally as measured by revenues. It also became the revenue and ratings leader in 19 out of 20 markets in the US. ARS shares were traded on the NYSE. In 1998, Steven B. Dodge and the Board of ARS engineered the merger of the company into CBS Radio.

This merger allowed Dodge and his team to focus all of their attention on American Tower Corporation, an owner and operator of communications towers. ATC, which had been a subsidiary of ARS, was spun out to ARS' shareholders and began trading on the NYSE. Dodge proceeded to lead the rapid growth of American Tower from 1998 to 2003, by which time American Tower had grown into the leading owner and operator of towers in the world, with major positions in the U.S., Mexico, and Brazil. Under Dodge's leadership American Tower enjoyed the highest operating margins among the major tower companies as well as the highest return on assets. In the fall of 2003 Dodge placed the leadership of American Tower into the hands of a handpicked, successor management team.

Dodge, who had always loved architecture, building, and landscape design, then started a fourth company that focused on high end residential developments, urban renewal projects, and construction management. Windover Development LLC (www.windoverllc.com) has since completed a wide range of projects, both commercial and residential, and has emerged as the leading construction company on the north shore of Boston, posting strong year to year revenue gains during a construction recession.

When not focusing on his latest business endeavor, Steven B. Dodge commits himself to land conservation, minority education, and a range of philanthropic endeavors.
