Before a single shovel hits the ground, Johannes Maassen is already solving some of the toughest problems in telecom and utility infrastructure.
As Founder and President of Collaborative Synergy, Johannes saw a major industry gap: too few firms were willing to take on the complex, inconsistently regulated work that comes before broadband construction begins. So, he built a company to do exactly that — with precision, accountability, and real-world expertise.
Since launching Collaborative Synergy in 2019, he’s led a team trusted by ISPs, electric cooperatives, and engineering partners to deliver make-ready engineering, pole loading analysis, permitting, and more — all designed to get jobs done right the first time.
