Founding Partner, CPaaS Acceleration Alliance

Speaker Bio

With over three decades in IT and telecom, I've always been at the intersection of these two fields, focusing on innovation. From the early days of cloud communications to working with operators on their innovation, and now emphasizing APIs, networks, and CPaaS, my journey has been one of continuous evolution. The integration of IT and telecom is a complex dance of two steps forward, one step back. I believe communication platforms and open innovation are the future, as telcos modernize their legacy systems to keep pace with IT-driven solutions and customer demands in our increasingly mobile-centric and AI-led world.


Currently, I split my time between the CPaaS Acceleration Alliance, a venture I founded with three partners to foster growth in the CPaaS industry, and The Next Cloud, where I provide advisory services to international vendors and operators. I thrive on challenges and change, strategizing in cloud communications, and bringing people together for mutual success. Travel and continuous learning are my passions.
