St. Cloud, Minnesota, United States, October 2025 — GeoComm has announced the appointment of TJ Kennedy as Chief Executive Officer, marking a new era of innovation for the nation’s most trusted provider of public safety GIS and indoor mapping solutions. Kennedy brings decades of experience in public safety technology, communications, and mission-critical operations, advancing GeoComm’s mission to deliver life-saving location intelligence for first responders, schools, and communities nationwide.
After serving as CEO since 2023, Jeff Liebl will depart the company. Under his leadership, GeoComm strengthened its position as a trusted partner to public safety agencies and advanced the role of GIS and indoor mapping in emergency response.
“We thank Jeff for his vision and steady leadership over the past three years, during which GeoComm expanded its solutions and built meaningful partnerships with agencies across the country,” said John Bryant, GeoComm Board Chair.
As CEO, TJ Kennedy brings a unique blend of public service and executive leadership to the organization. A recognized leader in bridging government, technology providers, and first responders, Kennedy previously served as President of the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet), where he played a pivotal role in creating and deploying the first nationwide broadband network for public safety. His earlier experience as a professional firefighter/paramedic, flight paramedic, and state trooper gives him an unmatched understanding of the real-world challenges faced by first responders.
In addition to his public sector experience, Kennedy has held senior executive roles across multiple technology organizations, driving growth and innovation in mission-critical systems.
“GeoComm’s mission to empower first responders with precise, real-time location intelligence has never been more urgent,” said TJ Kennedy. “I’m honored to lead this exceptional team and build on the company’s legacy of innovation, impact, and service to public safety professionals nationwide.”
Under Kennedy’s leadership, GeoComm is set to accelerate its transformation as the industry’s most trusted provider of public safety GIS and indoor mapping solutions. He will focus on driving innovation, deepening customer partnerships, and expanding the company’s reach into school safety and emerging markets where saving lives remains paramount.
