The Polte leadership team has hundreds of years of combined experience in radio, wireless, power, telecommunications, engineering and cloud technology. We’ve worked with 4G LTE and voice-over-LTE, radar systems used on battlefields, and life-saving E-911 technology. Fearless leader, Polte CEO Ed Chao, has even done work in the White House.
What makes Polte’s leadership lineup most impressive, however, is how we leverage that deep knowledge to fuel innovation for a concept that has been stagnant for years – for any industry that has assets that move. Our mission? Become the world’s next global location system.

A fun or dorky fact about you?

“Other than guitar, I play golf on occasion, fishing, raising the kids. That sounds very old – I fish and I golf.”
What was your first concert?
“The first, first one was probably the Replacements, which is my favorite band of all time, when I was 14. I got my head bashed in basically slam dancing. Bruises right along the side of my head.”

What was your quarantine binge-worthy show?

“Run a 40 yard dash in under 5 seconds. Can’t do it anymore.”
What was your first job?
“I worked at a sub sandwich place. It was good too. It was called Sub-Conscious. It was a great place for a 16-year-old to work because we got free food and we had steak sandwiches, and I ate the heck out of those. I don’t think I found anyone who makes them anymore.”

What’s your go-to karaoke song?

What was your first job?
“I had a summer job in London in a jean shop. I was too occupied looking at the attractive people coming in. When you’re 17, that’s all you do. You forget why you’re there.”
