MTA has named Rebecca “Becky” Rudd as its new Chief Financial Officer. Rudd comes to the Palmer-based telecom utility after holding the same position for Providence Medical Group Alaska, where she led financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and operational improvement efforts across the organization.

As CFO, Rudd oversees MTA’s financial operations, including accounting, budgeting, forecasting, and long-term financial planning. To support a smooth transition, Rudd is working alongside retiring CFO Laurie Browning.

“What stood out to me about Becky is her ability to pair strong financial discipline with a practical, steady leadership style,” says MTA CEO Demian Voiles. “She builds trust, navigates challenges well, and stays focused on what matters most. We’re excited to welcome her to MTA.”

Rudd and her family operate a farm and greenhouse in the Mat-Su, giving her a firsthand appreciation for the communities MTA serves.

But despite fifty years of improvements, unevenly thawing permafrost and an uncertain financial foundation have frayed the North Slope’s road to the rest of the world.
