From Girls Inc. Girl to Telecom CEO: The Story Behind Love Mobile's Co-Founder

Koddi Dunn, CEO - Love Mobile

"We didn't start a company and then decide to give back. We decided to give back, so we started a company."

Every company has an origin story. Most start with an idea. Love Mobile started with a belief. The belief that a wireless carrier could be something different. Something that doesn’t just take from its subscribers but gives back to the communities they live in. That belief belongs to Koddi Dunn, CEO and Co-Founder of Love Mobile Incorporated. And if you want to understand where it comes from, you have to go back to Atlanta.

Before Koddi was closing meetings at Caesars Palace or preparing for the MVNO Nation International Conference in Spain, she was a Girls Inc. of Greater Atlanta alumna. Girls Inc. is one of the nation’s longest-running girls’ leadership programs. They build what they call “strong, smart, and bold” women. They built Koddi.

In a recent alumni spotlight, Girls Inc. of Greater Atlanta recognized Koddi as part of their Women’s History Month feature. The recognition wasn’t just about what she’s built. It was about where it started.

Koddi reflects on her time in the program as foundational. Specific mentors left a lasting mark. That kind of early investment in a young woman, in her confidence, in her leadership capacity, doesn’t disappear. It compounds.

1,000 Love Mobile subscribers equals up to $120,000 directed to a nonprofit partner every year.

"We decided to give back, so we started a company." That decision is woven into every plan we sell, every partner we fund, and every community we serve.
